Trump Selects Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Tulsi Gabbard, a former Democratic representative from Hawaii, as director of national intelligence, a move likely to face Senate opposition due to her lack of intelligence experience and controversial foreign policy views. Gabbard, who left the Democratic Party in 2022 and endorsed Trump, is known for her anti-interventionist stance and criticism of U.S. foreign policy, particularly regarding Russia and Syria. Her nomination reflects Trump's "America First" approach but may challenge traditional national security perspectives in the Senate.
