Trump pushes out Mattis sooner than planned
President Donald Trump moved Defense Secretary Jim Mattis out two months early amid acrimony over Syria and NATO. Deputy Secretary Patrick Shanahan will act as secretary on Jan 1, while Pompeo notified Mattis of the decision. The White House cited a desire to avoid a drawn out transition and noted Mattis’s resignation letter criticizing U.S. policy. Senate leaders urged reconsideration of Syria withdrawal, warning of risks to allies and ISIS.
