According to CoinMeta, U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll has submitted his resignation to President Trump due to friction with Defense Secretary Peter Hegseth. Driscoll's resignation leaves the Army without a leader confirmed by the Senate; currently, only the Acting Chief of Staff is in office. Driscoll was involved in the negotiations between Russia and Ukraine and his departure may affect risk sentiment and the flow of safe-haven funds. White House Spokesperson Anna Kelly praised Driscoll for providing "highly effective" leadership in driving the Army department's agenda.
