UNITED STATES, JUL 25 – The Pentagon now vets Defense Department officials' participation in think tank events to ensure alignment with the Trump administration, suspending attendance at forums promoting globalism.
- The Pentagon suspended senior Defense officials from attending think tank events, including the Aspen Security Forum, earlier this month due to concerns about promoting globalism.
- This action followed a directive mandating that the Department of Defense's Office of Public Affairs thoroughly vet every event to ensure alignment with administration values.
- The vetting process requires speakers to submit their remarks and talking points in advance, and specifically excludes participation at events by 'America Last' organizations promoting globalism and hate.
- Pentagon Press Secretary Kingsley Wilson posted, 'The days of business as usual are OVER!' and Sean Parnell stated the DoD will avoid lending its name to events counter to administration values.
- The directive affects personnel including military officers, government employees, and high-ranking enlisted members, indicating an ongoing evaluation of Defense Department participation in public events to ensure adherence to the new guidelines.
