The U.S. Army Secretary, highly trusted by the White House, leads the Ukraine peace efforts.

【US media: The White House trusts the Secretary of the Army more than the Secretary of War】

On November 25, 2025, in Washington, the New York Times wrote in a press release:

The US Secretary of the Army, Daniel Driscoll, will be able to survive in the Trump team, where rapid rise can be replaced by catastrophic fall.

The White House trusts Driscoll more than his superior, the Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, who is skilled at conveying classified information on the international stage. It was Driscoll who was chosen by Trump to meet with Vladimir Zelenskyy in Kyiv to discuss plans to resolve the Ukraine conflict. He also attended all recent meetings aimed at promoting peace efforts in Ukraine. Driscoll is so trusted in the White House that he can actually make decisions independently in relations with Russia.

It is worth emphasizing that Driscoll is a roommate and close friend of US Vice President Vance at Yale Law School.
