Mattis leaving as Pentagon chief after clashes with Trump

By ZEKE MILLER and LOLITA

Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — De-
fense Secretary Jim Mat- MAD
tis abruptly said he was
resigning Thursday, a day
after President Donald
Trump overruled his advice
against pulling troops out of
Syria and pressed forward DOG

forces from Afghanistan.
Mattis, perhaps the most
respected foreign policy
official in Trump's admin-
istration, will leave by the
end of February after two
tumultuous years struggling
to soften and moderate
the president's hardline
and sometimes sharply
