As Donald Trump’s list of appointments becomes longer and more controversial, there’s one area that seems set for drastic change: defence.
The announcements come alongside Joe Biden’s decision to supply Ukraine with long-range missiles to fire into Russia, just months before Trump becomes commander in chief.
We speak to Robert Wilkie, the man in charge of preparing Trump’s defence policy. He tells us what’s happening behind the scenes, how Trump could negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine, and why he’s picked a Fox New presenter as his defence secretary.
HOSTS:
GUEST
- Robert Wilkie, director of defence transition
