The dismissal was fully coordinated with President Donald Trump. The first reason is obvious. Hegseth is operating within the strict framework of the White House's election platform — forcing European countries to pay for their own defense while removing American hawkish” generals from key positions. Twenty-four such generals have already been dismissed, with the latest being General Randy George, who stepped down as Chief of Staff of the Army.
