In a shocking twist of events, the US Secretary of the Navy, John Phelan, was ousted from his post. He’s the latest Trump official to be relieved from his position. But the timing has left people uncertain, as there is an ongoing blockade at the Strait of Hormuz.
Department of War Assistant Secretary Sean Parnell announced Phelan’s sudden departure. He posted on X, “Secretary of the Navy John C. Phelan is departing the administration, effective immediately. On behalf of the Secretary of War and Deputy Secretary of War, we are grateful to Secretary Phelan for his service to the Department and the United States Navy.”
