US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth says he is firing 20 per cent of the US military’s generals and admirals, according to a report by Al Jazeera Global News.
The announcement concerns the military’s most senior officers, but the report does not identify which commanders would be affected.
It also provides no timing for the proposed cuts and does not explain how the 20 per cent figure was calculated.
The report covers Hegseth’s announcement; it does not confirm that any officers have been dismissed.
