U.S. Senator Thom Tillis has called on President Donald Trump to fire Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth, accusing him of creating a 'leadership void' within the military amid the ongoing war with Iran. In a social media post, Tillis criticized Hegseth's management and expressed the need for a new leader at the Pentagon. Tillis, a member of the Republican Party, recently announced he would not seek re-election in the upcoming midterm elections.
