Trump fires Secretary of Defense Mark Asper, Miller becomes new Secretary of Defense

Washington, Ta. 10 November 2020, Tuesday

Donald Trump has made some changes in the immediate aftermath of the US presidential election. He has ordered the removal of then-US Secretary of Defense Mark Asper.

Trump tweeted Monday that Defense Secretary Mark Asper has been fired, and will be replaced by Christopher Miller, director of the National Counterterrorism Center.

It is noteworthy that after the defeat of the US presidential election, there were differences between Donald Trump and Mark Asper. Trump seems to have made that decision in the wake of it.

There were ideological differences between Trump and Mark over the use of Navy and Army personnel.

Donald Trump, on the other hand, tweeted praising Christopher Miller, saying Miller would do a great job. However, relations between Donald Trump and Asper had deteriorated since the outbreak of violence in the United States. Asper did not agree with Trump's idea of ​​using force to quell the ongoing violence in America. Yet Trump did deploy troops to Washington DC.

In the United States, he can usually remove his ministers after a second term as president. No president can remove a minister until another government is formed after losing the election, but Trump has also removed a deputy defense minister.

Amid mounting pressure to hand over power to Trump, information is emerging that he is planning to hold a number of rallies to protest election irregularities. A spokesman for the Trump campaign also confirmed this. However he did not give specific information about when Trump will start the rally.

He has also announced a team to push for a second recount in various parts of the United States. However, provincial election officials said there were no irregularities in the election. So far, the Trump campaign has not presented any evidence of malpractice.
