US has removed Vice Admiral from NATO from her post
US Navy Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfield has been removed from NATO’s senior post, holding a senior NATO post as part of the cleaning of senior officials in the national security by President Trump’s administration, Reuters reports, citing sources.
The information was not confirmed immediately by the Pentagon. However, Reuters sources say the Allies have been informed that Chatfield has been removed from their work.
Chatfield, US military representative at the NATO Military Committee, is one of the few women’s three -star women’s officers and is the first woman to lead the Naval College, a position she holds until 2023.
President Donald Trump’s administration has been looking coolly at NATO as well as European allies since he took office in January.
It is unclear whether any official reason for the dismissal of Chatfield has been given or whether it is related to any direction of US policy regarding the organization of the North Atlantic Pact.
Jack Reed, a leading Democrat at the Senate Armed Forces Committee, said « the unjustified dismissal of Vice Admiral Chatfield is shameful » and criticized Republicans that they did not declare themselves against the dismissal of senior military officials without explanation.
| « The silence of my Republicans is deeply disturbing … I can’t understand how anyone can stand silently from the side while the president causes great harm to our army and our nation, » Reed said in a statement. |

In a recent interview with Harvard magazine, Chatfield expresses eagerness when the qualifications of women in the army will not be questioned.
The article quotes an example when Chatfield, she herself helicopter herself, led the Squadron of the MH-60S Sea Hawk expedition helicopters in 2005-2006.
« A middle -class sailor … asked, » Ma’am, can you manage one of these helicopters? « And I laughed and said, » Yes, this is actually a prerequisite for this job! « She said, quoted, adding that she was carrying a sign at that time that she was a pilot.

US Department of Defense Pete Haget has made the elimination of priority programs in priority, claiming that they lead to division.
He also ended the celebration of events such as the month of the black history and the month of the history of women, giving directions by the US Army that « efforts to divide the forces – to put one group in front of another – undermine companionship and threaten the performance of the mission. »
In recent weeks, the chairman of the Council of Staff, General Brown, as well as other admirals, generals and security officers have also been fired.
Many current and former government officials have said they are worried that any national security officer may be suspected of Trump’s internal circle due to suspected relationships with those who have fallen out of favor, or because he has played key roles in Biden’s administration.
