Less than 72 hours after, U.S. President Donald Trump fired Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, the Washington Post is reporting that he is about to carry out another cabinet reshuffling after recently suggesting that the shake-up at the top levels of his administration was not over.
Trump's national security adviser, H.R. McMaster, is the target of his latest effort but McMaster is not expected to be immediately replaced. The Washington Post, citing five sources said several possible replacement is being considered by Trump, including former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton and Keith Kellogg, the chief of staff of the National Security Council.
"I'm really at a point where we're getting very close to having the Cabinet and other things that I want," Trump told reporters after Tillerson was fired.
Trump is beleive to be taking his time in making the change to avoid humiliating McMaster and carefully choose a strong replacement, the Post said.
The report says Trump has frequently complained that McMaster, a three-star Army general who took over from Michael Flynn who was dismissed a year ago -for misleading Vice President Mike Pence about his contacts with the Russian ambassador to the United States- is too rigid and that his briefings go on too long and seem irrelevant.
