The Pentagon in Washington
PENTAGON sources have announced that they are pulling military support for CIA counter-terrorism missions by January 2021, ahead of the inauguration of president-elect Joe Biden.
Citing a number of officials “familiar with the matter,” military news site Defense One reported that Acting Under-Secretary of Defence for Intelligence, Ezra Cohen-Watnik, was carrying out a review of resources.
He was appointed by the Trump administration just a week after the US presidential election and is understood to be reallocating resources to missions relating to Russia and China.
