After winning the US presidential election, Donald Trump is busy building his team to run the government. After appointments to certain positions, he entrusted major responsibilities to Tesla boss Elon Musk and Indian-born industrialist Vivek Ramaswamy.
Musk and Ramaswamy will lead the Department of Government Effectiveness (DoGE). The DoGE is a new department that will provide external advice to the government. Donald Trump issued a statement on the matter.
Trump said-
I am pleased to say that these two extraordinary Americans will work for my administration to cut bureaucracy, reduce waste, eliminate unnecessary regulations, and reorganize federal agencies. This is essential to our “Save America” agenda.
Along with this, Trump also gave way to Fox News host Pete Hegseth in his cabinet. According to the Washington Post, he was named defense minister.
Trump said – This department can become the Manhattan Project. Trump said in his statement regarding the DoGE department that the new system would create a stir among people who waste government money. Republican leaders have long dreamed of realizing the cause of DoGE. This could become the Manhattan Project of our time.
The Manhattan Project was actually a US government project, the aim of which was to develop an atomic bomb in collaboration with Great Britain and Canada before the German Nazi army.
Trump also said that the responsibility of this DoGE will end on July 4, 2026. On getting this new responsibility, Musk said: “We are not going to behave gently. Commenting on Vivek Ramaswamy’s post, he said we will not take it lightly. This will seriously work.
Musk said – The government will save $2 trillion thanks to the new department. Musk said that through the new department, he will be able to reduce government spending by at least $2 trillion (168 lakh crore). However, some experts consider this impossible. According to the Washington Post, Musk can only achieve this if he cuts important programs like the defense budget or Social Security.
Trump proposed the creation of the DoGE in early September. Earlier in August, he said that if he became president, he would consider giving Musk a cabinet position or advisory role within his administration. After that, Musk said he was ready to take on this responsibility.
Why did Trump-Ramaswamy get this responsibility? Musk, the richest person in the world, played a significant role in Trump’s campaign. He was the first famous businessman to openly campaign for Trump. According to reports, Musk spent over Rs 900 crore on Trump’s campaign.
Vivek Ramaswamy is the founder of the pharmaceutical company. He had contested the party’s primary election against Trump. He later withdrew his nomination and supported Trump. Since then, he has played an important role in Trump’s campaign.
Pete Hegseth served in the Army, in Iraq and Afghanistan. Trump said Pete spent his entire life as a warrior for the country. He’s tough, smart and believes in America First. Hegseth previously served as a soldier in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Pete Hegseth is a popular television host. He is co-host of “Fox & Friends Weekend” on the right-wing channel. Hegseth has a large number of fans. According to CNN, no one imagined that Trump could entrust such a big responsibility to Hegseth.
Pete Hegseth asks Trump a question at an event.
Trump appointed anti-China Mike Waltz, but a supporter of friendship with India, Trump decided to appoint Florida Congressman Mike Waltz as the country’s National Security Advisor (NSA). Waltz is considered anti-China-Iran and pro-India. He has supported numerous bills aimed at reducing America’s dependence on China.
Waltz was a “Green Beret Commando” in the US Army Special Forces Unit and also fought in Afghanistan alongside the Taliban. He had strongly opposed the Biden government’s military withdrawal from Afghanistan. He also served in the Middle East and Africa.
Donald Trump changed four NSAs during his first term. The first advisor, General McMaster, could stay in office for only 22 days.
Waltz was part of a special unit of the United States Army. This photo is from when he was fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan.
What is the India Caucus, with which Waltz is associated? The India Caucus is a group of American lawmakers working to strengthen India-America relations. It was created in 2004 by New York Senator Hillary Clinton (Democrat) and Secretary of State John Cornyn (Republican).
The India Caucus has become a major platform in the United States Parliament to discuss Indian issues and promote the rights of the Indian-American community. The Indian Caucus currently has 40 members.
The Indian caucus includes leaders from both the Democratic and Republican parties. Its members meet regularly with Indian leaders and advise the U.S. government on issues related to India.
Waltz is co-chair of the India Caucus and supports maintaining strong relations with India. In 2023, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the joint session of the US Congress. Waltz played an important role in preparing his speech. He was the one who asked House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to invite Modi.
In 2023, Modi delivered a speech in the US Parliament. It was Mike Waltz who suggested it.
Marco Rubio may become foreign minister Trump has decided to appoint Florida senator Marco Rubio as foreign minister. According to the New York Times, his name has not yet been officially decided, but Trump has almost agreed on his name. In the media, Vivek Ramaswamy was also considered a candidate for this post.
Marco Rubio is a senator from Florida. He is considered an expert on Latin American affairs. He is known for taking a tough stance towards China, Iran, Venezuela and Cuba. Rubio has already made numerous statements against Russia. But recently, he has avoided doing so.
In 2019, Rubio convinced Trump to impose tougher sanctions on Venezuela so that left-wing President Nicolas Maduro could be removed from power. Rubio is a strong supporter of Israel and blames Hamas for the war in Gaza.
Rubio was a big critic of Trump. He made lewd comments about Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign and called him an ugly human being. However, after Trump’s victory, they established better relations.
Rubio is pro-India and had demanded a tax on Chinese products. Rubio had publicly stated that China played a significant role in spreading unrest in the India-Pacific region. He demanded the imposition of heavy taxes on Chinese products. He had said that China was providing work to Uyghur Muslims settled in Xinjiang province at very low rates. In such a situation, companies from other countries are not able to compete with them.
Rubio is also considered pro-India. He had introduced a bill in the US Senate in July this year, in which he sought to strengthen India-US relations and end security assistance to Pakistan, accusing it of sponsoring terrorism.
