Hindu-American Tulsi Gabbard, nominated by US President-elect Donald Trump to be the Director of National Intelligence, has sparked mixed reactions. Gabbard, 43, met with key Senators on Capitol Hill to support Trump’s stance on Syria. Critics have raised concerns over her 2017 visit to Syria, where she met President Bashar al-Assad. Gabbard, a former Hawaii Congresswoman and US Army veteran, would become the first Hindu American to lead the US intelligence community. While some Senators praised her leadership, others are skeptical of her foreign policy views. Gabbard, a former Democrat, left the party in 2022.
