Wicker | W000437 | www.wicker.senate.gov | wicker | https://www.wicker.senate.gov/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Roger Wicker, R-Miss., the highest-ranking Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, met with President Trump’s nominee to serve as the next Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth. During the meeting, the two exchanged views on a range of critical national defense topics, including the military challenge posed by the Chinese Communist Party, continued instability in Europe, and the growing threats of adversaries such as China, North Korea, and Iran. Senator Wicker expressed his view – informed by the studied analysis of many defense experts – that the United States faces the most dangerous national security moment since World War II. He also raised the shared Trump-Wicker ‘peace-through-strength’ strategy as a way to confront this moment. Senator Wicker and Hegseth also discussed his nomination. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T22:13:55Z |
