WASHINGTON, D.C., UNITED STATES - U.S. President Donald Trump delivers remarks at the Governors Working Sessions. State Dining Room, White House.
In an unprecedented purge of the military’s senior leadership Friday night, President Donald Trump fired the top US general just moments before his defense secretary fired the chief of the US Navy and others.
In announcing the dismissal, Trump called Joint Chiefs Chairman Charles Q. Brown a “fine gentleman” and an “outstanding leader.” Brown is only the second Black man to serve as chairman and was the first Black service chief in US military history when he was confirmed as chief of the Air Force in 2020.
The president hinted at the firings to come in the announcement on his Truth Social platform. “Finally, I have also directed [Defense] Secretary [Pete] Hegseth to solicit nominations for five additional high level positions, which will be announced soon,” he wrote.
Minutes later, Hegseth released a statement in which he fired Admiral Lisa Franchetti, the chief of the Navy and the first woman to serve on the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
