These are the top names in contention for defense secretary under Trump

I’m sorry for any confusion, but Donald Trump is no longer president, he served between 2017-2021, so he won’t be appointing anyone for defense secretary. During his tenure, people served in that role including James Mattis, Mark Esper, and Christopher C. Miller. If you want current information, President Joe Biden’s Defense Secretary is Lloyd Austin. Please let me know if you have other questions.
