US President Donald Trump said Defense Secretary James Mattis "could be leaving." In a CBS interview, the host asked Trump whether he wanted Mattis to leave, the president said Mattis may leave at some point, referring to the general as "sort of a Democrat." Mattis is seen as one of the steadiest but also independent members of Trump's cabinet. He has served as a low-profile counterweight to Trump, in the president's often abrasive treatment of American allies. The comment came after Trump alluded to upcoming changes in his cabinet. But he also said Mattis has not told him that he would be leaving his post.
