WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump announced on Sunday he would replace Defense Secretary James Mattis at the start of the new year, two months earlier than Mattis’ planned departure.
“I am pleased to announce that our very talented Deputy Secretary of Defense, Patrick Shanahan, will assume the title of Acting Secretary of Defense starting January 1, 2019. Patrick has a long list of accomplishments while serving as Deputy, & previously Boeing. He will be great!” President Trump tweeted.
Mattis announced his resignation on Thursday with a letter saying his views were not aligned with President Trump, who said Mattis would retire at the end of February.
