Описание: LIVE: Trump's New Cabinet Picks Slammed By Republicans | Vantage with Palki Sharma

US President-elect Donald Trump’s latest cabinet picks for his second term are raising eyebrows. Among them is Republican US Representative Matt Gaetz, selected to serve as Attorney General. “Matt will end weaponised government, protect our borders, dismantle criminal organisations, and restore Americans’ faith and confidence in the Justice Department,” Trump said in a statement, announcing the selection, which would be subject to confirmation by the Republican-majority Senate. The choice has surprised many, as the 42-year-old Congressman has no prior experience in the Justice Department or as a prosecutor. Gaetz, who played a central role in ousting a Republican House Speaker in 2023, has faced several controversies, including investigations into sex trafficking, sexual misconduct, and drug abuse. He also drew criticism for inviting a Holocaust denier to the US Congress. For the role of Director of National Intelligence, Trump has selected Tulsi Gabbard, a former Democratic congresswoman who supported him during this election. Gabbard, the first Hindu lawmaker in US history, shares Trump’s stance on withdrawing from foreign wars. She opposes military aid to Ukraine and advocates for US withdrawal from Syria and Iraq. Meanwhile, Trump visited the White House yesterday at President Joe Biden’s invitation. According to the White House, the meeting was "substantive and cordial." On Vantage tonight, Palki Sharma delves into the implications of Trump's cabinet picks.
