Secretary of the Navy John Phelan was removed from his post following disagreements with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over the pace of shipbuilding reforms and Phelan’s direct communication with President Donald Trump. The decision came to a head during a meeting between Trump and Hegseth, with Trump expressing frustration over slow progress and directing Hegseth to replace Phelan. Undersecretary Hung Cao will serve as Acting Secretary of the Navy.
