TRUMP STUNS NATION WITH HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT GENERAL MATTIS
Secretary of Defense General Mattis has retired after serving President Trump for two years,
and helping to destroy ISIS.
CNBC reported that James Mattis stepped down as President Donald Trump's secretary of
Defense on Thursday.
In a letter addressed to Trump, Mattis said that "because you have a right to have a
Secretary of Defense whose views are better aligned with yours" on a number of subjects,
"I believe it is right for me to step down from my position."
In his letter, Mattis cited the importance of US alliances, particularly NATO, and said
the US must stand 'resolute and unambiguous' in the face of authoritarian countries such
as China and Russia.

President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that General Jim Mattis will retire from his
role as Secretary of Defense in February after serving two years in the administration.
"General Jim Mattis will be retiring, with distinction, at the end of February, after
having served my Administration as Secretary of Defense for the past two years," Trump
tweeted.
"During Jim's tenure, tremendous progress has been made, especially with respect to
the purchase of new fighting equipment."
"General Mattis was a great help to me in getting allies and other countries to pay
their share of military obligations," Trump continued.
"A new Secretary of Defense will be named shortly.
I greatly thank Jim for his service!"
"Because you have the right to have a Secretary of Defense whose views are better aligned
with yours on these and other subjects, I believe it is right for me to step down from
my position," Mattis said his a resignation letter.
The Washington Post reported on Wednesday that "Trump's decision to abruptly withdraw
troops from Syria is a clear rebuke to Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, the last remaining member
of a retinue of military men Trump once fondly called 'my generals.'"
The Post notes that Mattis had been repeatedly overruled by Trump in recent months as he
apparently lost influence with the president.
"Mattis had argued that the counterterrorism mission in Syria is not over and that the
small U.S. presence in Syria should remain, said current and former U.S. officials who
spoke on the condition of anonymity to share internal policy discussions," The Post added.
"The Pentagon chief also had tried to explain to Trump that there would be more chaos in
the region and future problems for the United States if the troops leave, they
said."
