Trump picks retired Marine Gen. James Mattis for secretary of defense. President-elect Donald Trump said Thursday he has chosen retired Marine Gen. James N. Mattis, who has said that responding to “political Islam” is the major security issue facing the United States, to be secretary of defense. Mattis, who retired as chief of U.S. Central Command in 2013, has often said that Washington lacks an overall strategy in the Middle East. Like Trump, Mattis favors a tougher stance against U.S. adversaries abroad, especially Iran. Regarding Russia, Mattis asserted that Russia’s taking of Crimea and backing separatists in Ukraine was "much more severe, more serious" than Washington and the European Union treated it.
