Move fast and break things? Trump’s defence transformation

from USSC Briefing Room Hosted by United States Studies Centre

One of the prominent refrains of the second Trump administration has been, “move fast and break things.” The administration has moved extraordinarily quickly to implement changes across all of government, even the complex world of defence, from procurement to the battlefield. What defence changes are the Trump administration tackling in a new way? What are the risks of the move fast and break things approach? How are US defence industries responding? Bill Lynn joined the podcast to discuss these questions. Bill was CEO of Leonardo DRS and former US Deputy Secretary of Defense during the Obama administration, in addition to multiple roles in the Pentagon and defence industry stretching over three decades.
