Why Mattis Resigned

“In his first television interview about his resignation, former Secretary of Defense James Mattis explained that he reached his breaking point with the Trump administration after the President decided to withdraw US troops from war-torn Syria,” CNN reports.

“The retired four-star Marine Corps general said that he had intended to serve the full four years, but resigned when he determined his views were not ‘aligned’ with President Trump’s.”

“He said he has not spoken to Trump since he resigned.”
