US President Donald Trump is preparing large-scale personnel changes in the White House in early April 2026. Several senior officials are under threat of resignation, which is associated with a review of strategy after the start of hostilities against Iran.
This is reported by The Atlantic .
According to journalists, among the key candidates for dismissal is US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, who is considered an important figure in foreign policy. FBI Director Kesh Patel and Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-Deremer are also under threat of resignation.
The material notes that previously the administration had an informal rule not to fire officials before the midterm elections, but now this position is changing.
“Even over the past few months, there was a decree that no Cabinet official would be dismissed before the midterm elections, although a series of dismissals were planned after election day,” the journalists noted.
According to sources, the decision to review personnel policy is related to the changing political situation and the president’s declining support after the start of the war with Iran. Internal discussions are ongoing in the White House about the scale of future layoffs.
“Trump was encouraged by the reaction to his decision to fire Noem, and that it made him more inclined to continue working with Bondi,” the publication reported, citing a source close to the administration.
Journalists note that the final dates for the resignations have not yet been determined, but relevant decisions may be made in the near future.
By the way, US President Donald Trump plans to address Congress with a proposal for a significant increase in defense spending in the budget. This would increase funding to $1.5 trillion, which would be one of the largest increases in a decade.
