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 big picture: 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.
