In a surprising move, President Trump has implemented a significant purge at the Pentagon, dismissing Gen. Charles CQ Brown from his position as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Despite praising Brown's leadership skills, Trump expressed a desire to head in a different direction. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth received orders to remove several other high-ranking officials, including the Chief of the Navy and the Vice Chief of the Air Force. This shake-up suggests a shift in military leadership aligned with Trump's agenda, raising questions about the evolving dynamics within the U.S. military leadership.
After President Trump ousts the Joint Chiefs Chairman, Secretary Hegseth fires the chief of the Navy, the vice chief of the Air Force and says he's requesting nominations for replacements.
Collins noted Brown had visited the country's border with Mexico earlier in the day and might have found out about his termination through the media.
