Hegseth Confirms Pentagon Will No Longer Participate In ‘Globalist’ Forum<\/span><\/p>\n

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has confirmed that the Pentagon will no longer play any role in the Aspen Security Forum, a think tank described as a \u201cmountain retreat for the liberal elite.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Hegseth posted simply \u201ccorrect\u201d with a link to a\u00a0Just The News<\/em>\u00a0article about the Pentagon pulling all its scheduled speakers at the \u201cglobalist\u201d talking shop.<\/p>\n

The report states:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

The Defense Department cited the left-wing nature of the Aspen Institute and the participation of such critics of President Trump as Biden administration National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan.<\/p>\n

The annual forum put on by the Aspen Institute \u2013 which has been dubbed \u201cthe mountain retreat for the liberal elite\u201d \u2013 describes the event as \u201cthe premier national security and foreign policy conference in the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n

Roughly a dozen top Defense Department officials \u2013 including the secretary of the Navy and the commander of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command \u2013 are still listed as speakers on the Aspen Security Forum agenda this week, but a source told Just the News over the weekend that that will no longer happen.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Department of Defense has no interest in legitimizing an organization that has invited former officials who have been the architects of chaos abroad and failure at home,\u201d Pentagon press secretary Kingsley Wilson told Just the News.<\/p>\n

NEW: Roughly a dozen top U.S. military officials \u2014 including Secretary of Navy & commander of Indo-Pacom \u2014 were slated to speak at the Aspen Security Forum this week. No longer. Hegseth DoD just pulled them all from participating at the \u201cglobalist\u201d forum.https:\/\/t.co\/QxRcU4FC3v<\/a><\/p>\n

The move underscores Hegseth\u2019s commitment to prioritizing America\u2019s interests over globalist agendas.<\/p>\n

The Aspen Institute, which hosts the forum, has been slammed for ties to leftist donors and its history of promoting narratives that clash with the values of the Trump administration, such as a focus on countering \u201cmisinformation\u201d and its association with anti-Trump activists.<\/p>\n

By pulling senior military officials, including the Secretary of the Navy, from this event, Hegseth sent a clear message that the Department of Defense will not lend credibility to organizations perceived as undermining the America First ethos.<\/p>\n

This action aligns with the administration\u2019s broader goal of rejecting globalist frameworks that prioritize international consensus over national sovereignty, ensuring that U.S. military leadership remains focused on domestic priorities and security.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s yet another example of Hegseth\u2019s dedication to implementing Trump\u2019s America First agenda within the Pentagon. Since taking office, Hegseth has consistently pushed for policies that strengthen the U.S. military\u2019s focus on readiness, lethality, and national interests, such as rolling back diversity initiatives, reinstating troops dismissed over vaccine mandates, and fast-tracking drone production to outpace global competitors like China and Russia.<\/p>\n

His decision to distance the Pentagon from the Aspen Security Forum reflects a deliberate rejection of forums that have historically platformed establishment figures responsible for foreign policy failures.<\/p>\n

I voted for this.<\/p>\n

Good. Anyone whining about it should also be fired.<\/p>\n

Important reminder. It was the Aspen Institute that did the Biden laptop \u201ctabletop exercise\u201d in advance of its appearance. Scumbags all.https:\/\/t.co\/Zu5u6N03Fn<\/a><\/p>\n
