Roger Wicker, the Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman, initially criticized Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for his remarks on Ukraine, but a spokesman clarified that they remain aligned on rebuilding the military and reforming the defense industrial base. Wicker expects continued partnership with Hegseth to support Trump's "peace through strength" agenda. Hegseth's statements during a NATO meeting outlined the Trump administration's positions on Ukraine, emphasizing Europe's role in security and the impracticality of returning Ukraine to its pre-2014 borders. Despite his criticism of Hegseth's approach, Wicker remains committed to the administration's goals.
