President Donald Trump has removed Admiral Linda Fagan, the first woman to lead a United States military service, as the head of the Coast Guard.
The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees the Coast Guard, did not immediately comment on Fagan’s dismissal, AFP reports.
The sack came less than 24 hours after the inauguration ceremony of the 47th US President at the Capitol, on Monday.
“She served a long and illustrious career, and I thank her for her service,” acting DHS Secretary Benjamine Huffman said in a message Tuesday to the Coast Guard. Punch
