7:26Now PlayingSen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D., questioned defense secretary nominee Pete Hegseth on Tuesday about the military’s ability to fight multiple conflicts across the globe.
“Given the growing potential of a multi-theater conflict involving near peer adversaries, what steps would you take to prepare the Department of Defense to simultaneously execute and sustain operations across multiple regions while maintaining readiness and deterrence globally?” Round asked during Hegseth's confirmation hearing.
Hegseth said he would ensure the military was prepared while also avoiding conflicts.
Hegseth is a military veteran and conservative media personality. President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for defense secretary has faced allegations of sexual misconduct and excessive drinking, and been criticized as a nominee for his controversial views on diversity and religion in the military.
