23:42 GMT 25.05.2016 (Updated: 04:54 GMT 26.05.2016) President Barack Obama has nominated two new assistant secretaries of defense, the White House announced in a statement.
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Obama named Thomas Atkin as his choice for the next Assistant Secretary of Defense for Homeland Defense and Daniel Feehan as the next Assistant Secretary of Defense for Readiness, the statement said on Wednesday.
