Pentagon memo on Trump's priorities doesn't mention Russia: report

A Pentagon memo outlining President-elect Donald Trump's defense priorities does not mention Russia, according to a copy of the memo obtained and published Tuesday by Foreign Policy.

The absence of Russia as a top priority would be a departure from military officers' warnings that the country is a top threat to the United States.

The memo will also intensify scrutiny of Trump's policies toward Russia as the president-elect vows to improve relations despite intelligence community claims that the Kremlin tried to swing the U.S. election through hacks.

The memo was written by acting Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Brian McKeon to update his office after a Nov. 28 meeting with the transition team. It lists four subjects that Trump transition team member Mira Ricardel identified to the Pentagon as Trump's priorities.
