From the Beeb:
US Defence Secretary Jim Mattis resigns
US Defence Secretary Jim Mattis will be retiring "with distinction" at the end of February, President Donald Trump announced on Thursday.
Mr Trump tweeted that General Mattis "was a great help to me in getting allies and other countries to pay their share of military obligations".
It comes a day after the president's controversial announcement that all US troops would be withdrawn from Syria.
Trump's move on Syria is going to set us up for problems down the road with Iran and Israel. Giving Iran a staging ground from which to Kill the Jews.
