US Midterm Results | Trump Defends Secretary Of War Pete Hegseth Amid Impeachment Push
US President Donald Trump has thrown his weight behind Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth amid mounting calls for his impeachment following the Republican Party's midterm setback. Praising Hegseth's performance, Trump said he had done a "fantastic job" and defended the administration's military actions involving Venezuela and Iran. Trump also claimed that the US controls the Strait of Hormuz and insisted Washington was moving towards Iran's denuclearisation. NDTV's Pradeep Datta reports on the political pressure facing Hegseth and Trump's defence of his Pentagon chief.
