McCain complained of a very bad relationship with the Minister of Defense Empty McCain complained of a very bad relationship with the Minister of Defense

McCain has said his relationship with the current US Secretary of Defense is worse than he was with the Obama minister

On Tuesday, October 17, Senator John McCain, the Senate Senate Senate Chief of Defense, complained about how the current government perceives his committee.

Thus, according to him, representatives of the administration of Donald Trump see in the specialized committee of the Senate exclusively the body for the approval of their own initiatives. Consequently, Senator McCain is not going to abandon the control and oversight functions assigned to the Armed Forces Committee, according to the Defense News .

According to John McCain's statement, it was more comfortable for him to work with Obama's defense minister Ashton Carter (2015-2017) than with James Matthews or Herbert MacMaster, whom the senator from Arizona knows for years to come.

This statement is indicative since the controversy between the profile committee of the Senate and the Pentagon in the last year of the administration of Barack Obama has been particularly acute with regard to procurement of new weapons, security sector reform and defense budget for 2017.

At the same time, according to McCain, the situation with relations with Mettis began to change in the last time in the best way. Not least because of the fact that the US Defense Ministry held a briefing before the senators regarding the strategy in Afghanistan and the counteraction to the Islamic state. Without this, the head of the Senate Committee on Armed Forces threatened the White House to suspend the process of approving appointees for key positions in the Ministry of Defense.
