Tulsi Gabbard, the first Hindu member of the US Congress, has been appointed by President-elect Donald Trump as the new Director of National Intelligence. Gabbard, a former Democrat who switched to the Republican Party, has a military background and has served in the Hawaii Army National Guard. Her appointment has raised concerns due to her lack of experience in senior intelligence roles and her controversial foreign policy views, including her stance on US interventions in Ukraine and Syria. Despite these concerns, Trump praised her “fearless spirit” and commitment to championing constitutional rights and securing peace through strength.
