Washington: On the one hand, the US presidential election is over. In this election, the current President Donald Trump has lost badly to Biden. But even so, President Donald Trump is unable to digest his defeat. Frightened by the defeat, Trump has fired Defense Secretary Mark Asper. Now there is talk in the media that Donald Trump is preparing to retaliate. This is the case with Secretary of Defense Mike Pompeo, who has expressed his feelings about Trump’s second term and is denying the decision in this election.
Defense Secretary Mike Pompeo’s statement is putting in a bit of a can. Because the news is that Trump is appalled by his defeat and because of this he is now making big changes in the Department of Defense. While the Trump administration is replacing the most senior officials in the Pentagon, the move has raised concerns in the Pentagon. On November 9, President Trump fired Secretary of Defense Mark Asper and replaced him with Christopher C. Miller, director of the National Defense Terrorism Center. But it remains to be seen why Trump is suddenly making such decisions in the last moments of his presidency. Such decisions can cause chaos. That too when Joe Biden is about to be sworn in as the new president.
Mark Asper came to India:
Significantly, just a week before the presidential election, Defense Secretary Mark Asper visited India with Mike Pompeo. Here he met Indian Defense Minister Rajnath Singh and External Affairs Minister S. He also participated in 2 plus 2 ministerial discussions with Jaishankar. Now sitting on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on the issue, Democrat Chris Murphy has warned that “during this corona transition, Trump is creating a dangerously volatile environment for national security.”
Whatever the reason, the above incidents show that President Trump is about to do something big and he is probably thinking of challenging this election decision as well. At the moment, it’s up to Donald Trump to decide what to do.
