Wiles will continue to work "virtually full time at the White House" while undergoing treatment, the US president said.
Susie Wiles, President Donald Trump's White House Chief of Staff, has been diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer at the age of 68. Trump announced the news via Truth Social, praising Wiles' strength and commitment to her role even while undergoing treatment. Wiles stated that the cancer was detected early and that she will begin several weeks of treatment in the Washington area. A key figure in Trump's political sphere, Wiles has long been recognized for her strategic discipline and central influence in his administration, particularly in the lead-up to the 2024 campaign. Her diagnosis comes amid heightened scrutiny of the White House's handling of major issues including foreign policy and economic concerns. Trump briefly referenced Wiles' condition during a Kennedy Center Board meeting, calling her a fighter and underscoring the importance of early treatment.
