Trump Nominates Financier Phelan as Navy Secretary

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated businessman John Phelan, a major donor to his campaign, as the next Secretary of the Navy. Phelan, who leads the private investment firm Rugger Management and has no military experience, was chosen after interviews at Mar-a-Lago. This nomination, along with other appointments, suggests Trump's administration may prioritize bringing in outsiders rather than career bureaucrats to lead military and defense roles.
