Top US Admiral at NATO in the middle of Trump’s growing military shots

Vice ADM. Shoshana Chatfield, a top US military officer at NATO, was released when the Trump government continues its widespread elimination of highly ranking uniformed officers, according to several US and European civil servants.

It is unclear whether the discharge comes from the Pentagon or the White House last week that several national security officers General Timothy Hagh, head of the NSA and Cyber ​​Command-after, after President Donald Trump had met with the right-wing extremist Laura Loomer.

Loomer later showed the dismissal of Hagh in a contribution on the social media platform X.

Chatfield was America’s representative of the NATO military committee, the group of the top uniformed officers of the Alliance. The body advises the two high -ranking military leaders of NATO and leads the long -term strategy.

Brig. General Sean Flynn, the deputy representative, will serve on the basis until a successor is named, a American civil servant said how others can talk about the background to discuss the distance.

Chatfield was previously the first woman who led the US Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island. Her term there later made her a goal of conservative interest groups, one of whom claimed that she was excessive with diversity, justice and inclusion or the initiatives in a December letter to Defense Minister Pete Hegseth.

The Pentagon did not answer questions about why Chatfield was released, who made the decision and whether other civil servants were affected. Reuters first reported the shooting of Chatfield.

In the opening months, the Trump government monitored the rapid removal of officers at the top of the US military, including chairman of the joint chiefs CQ Brown, head of the marine operations ADM. Lisa Franchetti, and the deputy chief of staff of the Air Force, Jim Slife.

So far, the shots have caused the public criticism of mainly democrats in the congress that legislators of both parties were “unhappy” by Brown in a confirmation hearing for the retired General Dan Caine, Trump’s election for the chairman of the joint chiefs.

The removal of a high -ranking US officer in NATO concerned several European defense officials who are worried that America is withdrawing from his role in Allianz. General Christopher Cavoli, the head of the European Command and the Supreme Allied Commandant Europe, will retire this summer.
