US Army Secretary Driscoll resigns, submits letter to Trump

U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll has submitted his resignation to President Donald Trump following months of disagreements with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, the Wall Street Journal reported. Driscoll is expected to leave the Department of Defense in the coming days, marking a change in senior military leadership at the Pentagon. The White House confirmed the departure, praising Driscoll's work during his tenure. Spokeswoman Anna Kelly said Driscoll had implemented Trump's agenda "extremely effectively" at the Defense Department, led historically significant military operations and helped refocus the force on readiness and warfighting capability. Kelly added that Driscoll contributed to Russia-Ukraine negotiations and other policy files, and said the U.S. Army had been strengthened through its work with Trump and Hegseth. No successor was named in the statement. The resignation comes amid reported disputes within the Pentagon over the future of the Army and senior personnel decisions. No further details on a replacement were immediately available.
