In a shocking shake-up, John Phelan was fired from his role as Secretary of the Navy by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, amidst rising tensions over shipbuilding strategies and compliance with judicial directives.
Newsmax host Greg Kelly publicly lambasted Hegseth's decision, calling the ousting "despicable" and highlighting the contentious atmosphere within the Trump administration.
Hung Cao stepped in as the new Acting Secretary of the Navy, a controversial figure known for his hardline views and colorful remarks, including past claims about “witchcraft.”
The dismissal has intensified fears of instability within the Pentagon, as officials grapple with the uncertain fate of additional leadership amid ongoing military engagements.
Trump downplayed the situation, asserting that Phelan's exit was voluntary and welcomed him back to the administration at any time.
This shake-up marks yet another twist in a pattern of tumultuous personnel changes that have characterized the administration, raising questions about the priorities and motivations shaping U.S. military leadership.
