皮特赫格斯：從軍官到福克斯新聞主持人，再到川普挑選的國防部長

44 歲的赫格斯擁有多元化的背景，涵蓋服兵役、退伍軍人宣傳和媒體影響力。

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Pete Hegseth, a seasoned military officer, Harvard-educated policy expert, and cryptocurrency enthusiast, as his Secretary of Defense.

當選總統唐納德·川普提名皮特·赫格斯（Pete Hegseth）擔任國防部長，他是一位經驗豐富的軍官、哈佛大學畢業的政策專家和加密貨幣愛好者。

The announcement came via a Trump-Vance transition statement on Tuesday, marking a significant shift in potential defense leadership.

這一消息是周二透過川普-萬斯過渡聲明發布的，標誌著潛在國防領導層的重大轉變。

Hegseth, 44, brings a diverse background spanning military service, veterans’ advocacy, and media influence. A Princeton University politics graduate who later earned his Master of Public Policy from Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, Hegseth has built a career bridging military expertise with public policy.

44 歲的赫格斯擁有多元化的背景，涵蓋服兵役、退伍軍人宣傳和媒體影響力。赫格斯畢業於普林斯頓大學政治系，後來獲得哈佛大學甘迺迪政府學院公共政策碩士學位，他的職業生涯將軍事專業知識與公共政策聯繫起來。

His military service in the Army National Guard, including deployments to Guantanamo Bay, Iraq, and Afghanistan, earned him two Bronze Stars and a Combat Infantryman Badge.

他在陸軍國民警衛隊服役，包括部署到關塔那摩灣、伊拉克和阿富汗，為他贏得了兩枚銅星勳章和一枚戰鬥步兵徽章。

Before his current role as co-host of Fox & Friends Weekend, Hegseth served as CEO of Concerned Veterans for America (CVA), where he championed reform within the Department of Veterans Affairs. His brief foray into politics included a 2012 run for a U.S. Senate seat in Minnesota, though he ultimately withdrew to endorse another candidate.

在擔任《福斯與朋友週末》的聯合主持人之前，赫格斯曾擔任美國關心退伍軍人組織 (CVA) 的首席執行官，倡導退伍軍人事務部的改革。他曾短暫涉足政壇，其中包括 2012 年競選明尼蘇達州的美國參議院席位，但他最終退出以支持另一位候選人。

The nominee has recently gained attention in cryptocurrency circles for his bullish stance on Bitcoin and digital assets. Following Trump’s election victory and Bitcoin’s surge above $80,000, Hegseth commented on Fox Business: “Look at Trump, making Bitcoin great again. All it took was signaling to that market that they weren’t going to be overregulated. Trump embraced them.” He also disclosed managing his own cryptocurrency portfolio, noting that while he had sold some holdings at recent highs, he maintains significant positions.

這位提名人最近因其對比特幣和數位資產的看漲立場而在加密貨幣圈中受到關注。在川普當選、比特幣飆升至 8 萬美元以上後，赫格斯對福克斯商業評論道：「看看川普，讓比特幣再次偉大。所要做的就是向市場發出信號，表明他們不會受到過度監管。川普擁抱了他們。他也透露了管理加密貨幣投資組合的情況，並指出，雖然他在近期高點出售了一些持股，但仍保留著重要部位。

Hegseth’s crypto journey hasn’t been without setbacks. In November 2022, he publicly acknowledged substantial losses following the FTX exchange collapse, yet maintained his optimistic outlook on the sector’s future.

Hegseth 的加密之旅並非一帆風順。 2022 年 11 月，他公開承認 FTX 交易所崩潰後遭受了巨額損失，但仍對該行業的未來保持樂觀前景。

His perspective on cryptocurrency was notably shaped by Coinbase’s 2021 IPO, which he described as the “tip of the iceberg” for the industry’s potential.

他對加密貨幣的看法主要受到 Coinbase 2021 年 IPO 的影響，他將其描述為該行業潛力的「冰山一角」。

The nomination has drawn mixed reactions from Capitol Hill. Senator Elizabeth Warren, who recently secured her fourth term after defeating crypto-friendly Republican John Deaton, voiced strong opposition.

這項提名引起了國會山莊的不同反應。參議員伊麗莎白·沃倫(Elizabeth Warren)最近在擊敗對加密貨幣友好的共和黨人約翰·迪頓(John Deaton)後獲得了第四個任期，她表示強烈反對。

“A Fox & Friends Weekend co-host is not qualified to be the Secretary of Defense,” Warren posted on X, citing her leadership of the Senate military personnel panel and her family’s military service.

「福克斯與朋友週末的共同主持人沒有資格擔任國防部長，」沃倫在 X 上發帖，引用了她在參議院軍事人事小組的領導地位以及她家人的兵役經歷。

Hegseth has established himself as a prolific author, publishing four significant works that reflect his political and social perspectives. His literary portfolio includes “In the Arena: Good Citizens, a Great Republic, and How One Speech Can Reinvigorate America” (2016), “American Crusade: Our Fight to Stay Free” (2020), and “Modern Warriors: Real Stories from Real Heroes” (2020). His most recent work, “Battle for the American Mind: Uprooting a Century of Miseducation” (2022), co-authored with David Goodwin, critiques progressive influences in American education.

赫格斯已成為一位多產作家，並出版了四本反映他的政治和社會觀點的重要著作。他的文學作品集包括《在競技場上：好公民，一個偉大的共和國，以及一次演講如何重振美國》（2016 年）、《美國十字軍東徵：我們為保持自由而戰》（2020 年）和《現代戰士：來自美國的真實故事》真正的英雄」（2020）。他的最新著作《為美國思想而戰：根除一個世紀的錯誤教育》（2022 年），與大衛·古德溫 (David Goodwin) 合著，批評了美國教育中的進步影響。

The nomination, which requires Senate confirmation, comes alongside other notable appointments, including Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead the proposed Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E), coinciding with a surge in Dogecoin prices.

這項提名需要參議院確認，同時還有其他值得注意的任命，包括馬斯克和維韋克·拉馬斯瓦米領導擬議的政府效率部（DOGE），恰逢狗狗幣價格飆升。
