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 an announcement on his Truth Social platform, Trump called Joint Chiefs Chairman Charles Q. Brown a “fine gentleman” and an “outstanding leader,” while hinting at the firings to come. “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.
