Trump may boot Air Force secretary over Space Force opposition, report says
Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson is reportedly on the chopping block and could be fired after the midterm elections for attempting to “undermine” President Trump’s “Space Force” initiative, according to reports.
Foreign Policy reported Thursday, citing sources, that the Trump administration – including Deputy Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan -- is exasperated with Wilson for “trying to undermine this part of the president’s agenda from within.”
Wilson, who appears -- at least on the surface -- to support the proposal, said in September she was in “complete alignment” with Trump’s plans, according to the magazine.
But shortly after, a memo from Wilson was leaked estimating that the launch of Space Force would involve 13,000 people and cost $13 billion over five years, according to the report.
“By the time [the administration] got this most recent memo with the cost estimate, they’d kind of already had it with her and the Air Force on this, and it just put them over the top,” a source told the magazine.
