Wait a minute. Trump signed it into law. And Ivanka supported it. WTF?Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced Tuesday he's "proudly" ending a Pentagon program intended to advance women's participation in peace-building and security.
The Women, Peace and Security program was signed into law by President Trump in his first term with bipartisan support, and was touted by the administration as an accomplishment that "advanced women's economic empowerment."
Trump's Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, then a Congressmember, was a co-sponsor of the bill.
Hegseth said in a post on X Tuesday that the Department of Defense will fight to end the program, calling it "yet another woke divisive/social justice/Biden initiative that overburdens our commanders and troops — distracting from our core task: WAR-FIGHTING."
He said it's "a UNITED NATIONS program pushed by feminists and left-wing activists" and "troops HATE it."
[...]
"So—yes—we are ending the 'woke divisive/social justice/Biden (WPS) initiative.'"
