US Army Secretary resigns after months of tensions with Hegseth

SAPO Notícias1 September 2026 at 09:11

The United States Army Secretary, Dan Driscoll, submitted his resignation, with the White House confirming the departure without stating the official reasons for the decision. The American press associates Driscoll's departure with the conflicts he had in recent months with Pete Hegseth, the Defense Secretary, often referred to as the "Secretary of War" in the article.

Dan Driscoll had held the position of Army Secretary since the beginning of the Trump administration. His resignation comes at a time of internal tensions at the Pentagon, where relations among military leadership members have been marked by disagreements.

The American media has been reporting on the clashes between Driscoll and Hegseth, although the specific causes of the conflicts have not been detailed in the article. The Army Secretary's departure represents another change in the leadership structure of the United States Department of Defense.

The White House confirmed the resignation without providing additional explanations, leaving uncertainty about the reasons behind Driscoll's departure and about the future of US Army leadership.

Jair Renan Asks for Votes for Esperidião Amin and Carlos Bolsonaro, but Leaves Michelle's Ally in SC Out of the Campaign Flyer

The campaign material attributed to Jair Renan Bolsonaro (PL-SC) asks for votes for Carlos Bolsonaro and Esperidião Amin for Senate, but excludes federal deputy Caroline de Toni, Michelle Bolsonaro's ally on the same ticket. The flyer also supports Jair Renan for federal deputy, Flavinho for president, Jorginho Mello for governor, and Camilo Martins for state deputy. Toni's exclusion occurs amid tensions in the Bolsonaro coalition in Santa Catarina, as Amin was passed over by Jorginho earlier this year to accommodate the ex-president's son.
