02.12.2025 โข The Day Hegseth Defended the Boat Strike
โจUS media on December 2nd heavily focused on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's defense of the controversial 'double tap' boat strike, where he cited 'fog of war' during a Cabinet meeting. Early reports scrutinized his orders and the White House's attempts to shift blame. By early afternoon, President Trump's pardon of former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernรกndez, who was convicted of drug trafficking, gained traction amidst escalating tensions with Venezuela. As the Cabinet meeting unfolded in the evening, Hegseth further elaborated on his role, stating he did not see survivors due to 'fog of war,' while Trump backed him. Concurrently, Trump's strong remarks against Ilhan Omar and Minnesota's visa program drew significant attention, while a tighter-than-expected Tennessee special election, ultimately won by Republican Matt Van Epps, was closely watched.
