WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday picked Daniel Driscoll, a senior adviser to Vice President-elect JD Vance, to serve as the Secretary of the Army.

"As a former Soldier, Investor, and Political Advisor, Dan brings a powerful combination of experiences to serve as a disruptor and change agent," Trump said on Truth Social.
