Outgoing U.S. President Donald Trump has terminated Defense
Secretary Mark Esper, who had given hints that he had his letter of resignation
ready.
Trump sacked Esper with a tweet and appointed Christopher
Miller, director of the National Counterterrorism Center, acting defence
Secretary, with immediate effect.
“Mark Esper has been terminated,” Trump said on Twitter.
“I am pleased to announce that Christopher C. Miller, the
highly respected Director of the National Counterterrorism Center (unanimously
confirmed by the Senate), will be Acting Secretary of Defense, effective
immediately.”
