Milan, 29 Mar (LaPresse) – US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, at the centre of criticism for the chat in which attacks in Yemen against the Houthis were decided, took his wife, a former Fox News producer, to two meetings with foreign military counterparts in which sensitive information was discussed. This was revealed to the Wall Street Journal by several people who were present or aware of the discussions. One of the meetings was a high-level discussion at the Pentagon that took place on 6 March between Hegseth and British Defence Secretary John Healey. According to people familiar with the meeting, the group, which included Admiral Tony Radakin, head of the British armed forces, discussed the rationale behind Washington's decision to stop sharing military information with Ukraine, as well as future military cooperation between the two allies.
