Therefore, according to Trump, Pentagon deputy Patrick Shanahan can perform the duties of the head of the US Department of Defense "for quite a long time".
US President Donald Trump said a few days ago that Pentagon Deputy Secretary Patrick Shanahan will be acting Secretary of Defense starting January 1, 2019.
Thus, Donald Trump has shortened the term of Pentagon chief James Mattis, who plans to leave office at the end of February.
Mattis said he would leave his post immediately after Donald Trump announced the withdrawal of US troops from Syria. In his resignation letter, James Mattis wrote to Trump that he was leaving so the President could find a new defense secretary with more aligned views.
