Kevin Sweeney, the chief of staff of the US Department of Defence, has announced his resignation from the post.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday said he was replacing Defense Secretary Jim Mattis two months earlier than had been expected, a move officials said was driven by Trump's anger at Mattis' resignation letter and its rebuke of his foreign policy.
