美國共和黨在期中選舉慘敗後,國防部長赫格塞斯面臨朝野彈劾與下台壓力。他曾開除軍方高層並廢除多元化政策,在華府樹敵眾多。川普政府正爭取高達1.5兆美元的國防預算案。
美國共和黨在期中選舉慘敗,國防部長赫格塞斯(Pete Hegseth)被視為「戰犯」之一。面對朝野議員鋪天蓋地的彈劾與下台聲浪,赫格塞斯週四(5日)發布影片強硬回擊,不僅堅稱伊朗戰爭「具歷史意義且正確」,更誓言將繼續坐鎮五角大廈奮戰到底。
《路透》報導,福斯新聞主持人出身的赫格塞斯作風極具爭議,上任後開除軍方高層並廢除多元化政策,在華府樹敵無數。隨著共和黨慘敗,朝野逼宮聲浪漸高,聯邦眾議院民主黨領袖傑佛瑞斯(Hakeem Jeffries)在社群平台發文:「為什麼赫格塞斯還在任?」共和黨人也揚言重啟彈劾,直言他即將面臨政治清算。
對此,赫格塞斯週四在長達4分多鐘的視訊談話中展現強硬姿態,痛斥國會重啟彈劾的企圖純屬政治抹黑。他將自身處境比擬為川普當年歷經的兩次彈劾,狂言「這套對川普沒用,對我也絕對行不通」,並宣稱反對者之所以猛烈圍剿,正是因為他的軍事改革「卓有成效」,五角大廈絕不會因此向政客低頭退縮。
美國總統川普則在白宮橢圓形辦公室公開為赫格塞斯護航,盛讚他「幹得非常出色」。川普甚至直言不諱地表示,反對赫格塞斯的人主要是不滿將軍遭到清洗,更嘲諷軍中充斥太多無用的「覺醒派將領」,同時高度肯定美軍在委內瑞拉與伊朗長達7個月的軍事行動,表態力挺防長留任。
然而,副總統范斯日前公開質疑攻打伊朗的代價過於沉重,痛批這場戰事直接導致共和黨丟掉國會多數席次,幕僚亦透露撤換赫格塞斯的選項仍擺在檯面上。此外,川普政府正積極向國會爭取高達1.5兆美元的國防預算案,赫格塞斯與國會降至冰點的關係,已成為法案通關的最大路障。
明年即將接掌眾議院軍事委員會的民主黨陣營,已承諾上任後將立即對赫格塞斯展開全面監督與嚴厲調查。

The 2026 Taipei mayoral election has entered the final stage, with Democratic Progressive Party candidate Shen Boyang and Kuomintang mayor Chiang Wanan seeking re-election continuing to compete.
