James Mattis is known as one of the most influential military leaders of his generation.
The newly elected President of the United States Donald trump has decided on the candidacy of defense Minister in the new administration: they will be retired General James Matisse.
This informs The Washington Post, citing sources in the transition team, familiar with the internal processes.
In 2013 he resigned from the post of commander of the U.S. Central command. In order that the General was approved on a post of the Minister of defense, Congress should pass an act that would have made an exception in Federal law for Matisse in the section that the Pentagon should not in the last seven years of being in military service. Congress has already made such an exception, but only once, when General George Marshall was appointed to the post in 1950. James Mattis is known as one of the most influential military leaders of his generation, who was called a strategic thinker, but at the same time paid attention to his aggressive style of communication. After retirement he worked as a consultant and research fellow at the Hoover institution – the expert institution at Stanford University.
Like trump, Matisse prefers a more rigid position of Washington in relation to countries that are considered enemies of the United States abroad. This is especially true of Iran as well as terrorist groups like DEL and al-Qaeda.
In addition, Mattis critical remarks on Russia for its aggression against Ukraine, which he called one of the most dangerous crises in the European region.
