		</div><p>Donald Trump has fired defence secretary Mark Esper and replaced him with counterterrorism head Christopher Miller.</p>
<p>Mr Esper was confirmed as defence secretary in July 2019 but had clashed with the president this year.</p>
<p>Mr Miller, director of the National Counterterrorism Centre, takes over the role until Joe Biden enters the White House in the new year.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">&#8230;Chris will do a GREAT job! Mark Esper has been terminated. I would like to thank him for his service.</p>
<p>&mdash; Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1325859407620689922?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 9, 2020</a></p></blockquote>

<p>Presidents who win re-election often replace cabinet members but losing incumbents have previously kept their Pentagon chiefs in place until Inauguration Day to preserve stability in the name of national security.</p>
<p>Mr Trump thanked Mr Esper for his service and said Mr Miller will do “a great job”.</p>
