Pentagon Concedes Russian Threat as Trump-Era Policy Shop Faces Revolt in Senate Hearing
US Senators have expressed outrage over the quiet decisions to pause military aid to Kyiv and pull a US brigade from Romania, which has baffled NATO's eastern flank.
Austin Dahmer, President Donald Trump's nominee for the Pentagon's top strategy post, conceded under oath that Russia poses a security threat to the US, breaking with the administration's usual script.
For months, Trump's second administration has oscillated between gestures of rapprochement toward Moscow and bursts of hard-line rhetoric.
Dahmer's admission came as the Pentagon faces bipartisan fury over a series of opaque decisions, including the withdrawal of a US brigade from Romania, which startled allies along NATO's eastern flank.
