Wie is deze Amerikaanse autoriteit? 'On February 3, 2025, Donald Trump named Kent as his nominee for director of the National Counterterrorism Center.[36] He appeared before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence on April 9, in which he defended his involvement in the Signal group chat and asserted the government was involved in the January 6 Capitol attack.[37]
On March 16, 2026, Kent told Trump, vice president JD Vance, and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles that he intended to resign as director of the National Counterterrorism Center over Trump's decision to initiate the Iran war.[40] The following day, he published a resignation letter, writing on X that the U.S. entered the war amid "pressure from Israeland its powerful American lobby". Kent denied that Iran was an "imminent threat" to the United States.[41][42]
Kent told the political commentator Tucker Carlson the following day that he and other senior officials were "not allowed" to share concerns about the necessity of airstrikes with Trump. He alleged that the decision-making process had been limited to a select few advisors and continued to emphasize the involvement of Israeli officials.[44] Kent appeared on the podcasts of several political commentators associated with the MAGA movement, including Megyn Kelly, Saagar Enjeti, and Shawn Ryan, in an effort to encourage opposition to the war.[45]
Military affairs
Kent is a non-interventionist, citing his military experience and the death of his wife.[60] He began to question the management of the U.S. military during the Iraq War, when officials sought to eliminate members of Saddam Hussein's government. According to Mother Jones, Kent read David Hackworth's memoir About Face (1990), a book critical of the "clerks at the top" directing the U.S.'s involvement in the Vietnam War.[3] He defended Trump's pardons of two Army officers convicted of Uniform Code of Military Justice offenses, Mathew L. Golsteyn and Clint Lorance, and his intervention in the case of Eddie Gallagher, a Navy SEAL involved in a high-profile war crimes case; in an interview with The New York Times in November 2019, Kent compared Gallagher's case with that of Chelsea Manning.[61]
Foreign policy
At a conference held at Washington Marriott Marquis in April 2022, Kent argued the "political establishment" seeks to initiate a conflict against Russia, including by providing military assistance to Ukraine—a level of support he outright opposed.[62][49] He stated Russian president Vladimir Putin's demands for Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts were "very reasonable".[62] His comments on Tucker Carlson Tonight denouncing support for Ukraine as deterring a peace deal were repeated by TASS, a Russian state-owned news agency.[63] In September 2023, Kent described the Biden administration's strategy as immoral, arguing that the U.S. is fueling a prolonged war that is "unsustainable" for Ukraine. Kent has specifically stated that the policy uses the Ukrainian civilian population as "cannon fodder", describing drafted Ukrainian soldiers—whom he characterized as formerly everyday workers and students—as being sent to die in a "muddy ditch" in a war he believed they cannot win. He has argued that by providing continuous aid, the U.S. prevents a necessary, albeit likely painful, peace deal from being brokered.[64]
In 2021, following the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, Kent emerged as a vocal critic of what he described as Washington’s failed "nation-building" strategies.[41] In March 2026, Kent characterized U.S.-Israeli strikes against Iran as a "manufactured" war, arguing they did not serve American interests and risked repeating the "disastrous" mistakes of the Iraq War.[65]
