The outgoing US Defense Secretary James Mattis is set to leave earlier than originally thought, with his deputy Patrick Shanahan replacing him as acting defense chief on January 1, President Donald Trump has tweeted.


Earlier this week, Mattis resigned from Trump’s administration citing policy differences and offered to stay in his post for two more months until the end of February. While Trump himself had confirmed the time frame, he has now made it clear Mattis will be out of the team quite a bit earlier.
Reports and speculation emerged that the abrupt change was caused by Mattis’ resignation letter and the attention it received. Trump was irked by the letter, which implicitly criticized his policies and the decision to withdraw from Syria, and decided to oust the Secretary of Defense immediately, Reuters reported, citing a source.
