United States President, Donald Trump has sacked the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Air Force Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr..
Trump announced that he will nominate a retired three-star general to succeed Brown as the country’s top military officer.
The Republican disclosed this in a post on Truth Social on Friday.
“I want to thank General Charles ‘CQ’ Brown for his over 40 years of service to our country, including as our current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
“He is a fine gentleman and an outstanding leader, and I wish a great future for him and his family,” Trump wrote.
Brown’s sacking comes amid a wave of administration shake-ups.
Brown has held the post since October 2023, after he was nominated by then-President Joe Biden.
He was the second Black person to serve as Joint Chiefs chairman after Army Gen. Colin Powell held the role from 1989 to 1993.
