Media reported chaos in the U.S. military over Trump's executive orders

U.S. President Donald Trump's executive orders have caused chaos in the U.S. military because top officials in the Pentagon misinterpreted diversity statements and set a freeze on arms deals. This was reported by Politico on January 29.

According to the newspaper, Army Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Laura Potter ordered the head of the procurement office to freeze and suspend bids for contracts that are related to equality, inclusion, "critical racial theory" and climate change.

It is noted that the decision caused surprise in the Army bureaucracy and forced officials to suspend their contracts. However, the freeze decision was later withdrawn.

In addition, a U.S. Defense Department official reported the army's anxiety due to the new decrees of the American leader, as well as major personnel changes. Another number of servicemen were concerned about the probable dismissal of officers from their posts due to "insufficient loyalty".
