US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has emphasized that the recently named “Department of War” is primarily aimed at advancing peace, asserting that peace is the ultimate goal even amidst military actions. Hegseth, a key figure at the Pentagon, stated that preparing for war is essential for maintaining peace and ensuring the well-being of the American populace.
