It's easy to overlook Daniel P. Driscoll, who at 38 is the youngest secretary in U.S. Army history, as part of a Trump diplomatic team that features heavyweights such as Secretary of State Marco Rubio and special envoy Steve Witkoff.

Mr. Driscoll traveled to Kyiv last week on an official stop to support Ukraine's and Europe's ongoing peace negotiations with the U.S.
