“The Pentagon has suspended participation in all think tank and research events until further notice, according to an email sent Thursday to staff and obtained by POLITICO, a major shift in engagement from the country’s largest federal agency. The decision comes a week after the Defense Department pulled out of the high-profile Aspen Security Forum citing ‘the evil of globalism’ and indicating the event did not align with the Trump administration’s defense policies. The Pentagon’s public affairs office is also reviewing the agency’s participation in other top security conferences, according to the email.” (07/24/25)
