Germany has awarded its highest honor—the Order of Merit—to former U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, recognizing his deep commitment to U.S.-German security ties and his pivotal role backing Ukraine. Defense Minister Boris Pistorius praised Austin for restoring trust and cooperation, especially via the Ukraine Defense Contact Group he helped launch. Austin’s legacy stands in contrast to successor Pete Hegseth, who has distanced the Pentagon from the group and rolled back diversity, climate, and public health initiatives. As Germany and the UK now lead Ukraine support efforts, Austin is honored as “a true friend of Germany.” More: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-10-02/germany-honors-biden-s-defense-chief-as-hegseth-changes-pentagon #LloydAustin #Germany #Ukraine #Pentagon #Biden #Hegseth
