Discontent is growing around Pete Hegseth, who currently serves
as the head of the Pentagon in U.S. President Donald Trump’s
administration, with mounting criticism over his lack of management
experience and controversial decisions, Azernews
reports via The Wall Street Journal.
Several sources within the administration have expressed concern
about Hegseth’s suitability for the role. Among the key criticisms
is his lack of organizational leadership experience and a recent
incident involving the inclusion of a journalist in a Signal group
where classified information is discussed—an action seen as highly
inappropriate given the sensitivity of the material.
Further fueling internal dissatisfaction is Hegseth’s reported
failure to promptly notify the White House about his decision to
suspend the supply of certain weapons to Ukraine, a move that
blindsided officials at a critical time in U.S. foreign policy.
The controversy comes amid speculation about Hegseth’s political
future. As previously reported by NBC News, sources close to him
have revealed that he is considering a gubernatorial run in
Tennessee in 2026. However, no final decision has been made.
The growing scrutiny raises questions about his continued role
in the Pentagon and its implications for both U.S. defense policy
and internal cohesion within the Trump administration.
