This is the moment US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth is reprimanded by an army soldier on duty at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington, Virginia, on Wednesday 12 November.
After laughter was heard from Hegseth’s group as they visited Arlington National Cemetery, the guard can be heard shouting: “All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times.”
A Pentagon spokesman said the soldier had “correctly and respectfully reminded everyone to maintain decorum”.
The defence secretary had been attending the annual Veterans Day wreath-laying ceremony at the burial site alongside President Trump.
Hegseth faced a failed impeachment attempt on Tuesday, following last week’s poor Republican midterm results, which were driven in part by frustration over the Iran war.
