In a Truth Social post at noon Monday, President Donald Trump announced that his White House Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, has just been diagnosed with cancer.
Wiles, 68, served as Trump’s co-campaign manager for his 2024 presidential campaign, and then transitioned to White House Chief of Staff when he took office for his second term.
Trump said Wiles will continue to work virtually as she undergoes treatment.
Below is his full statement:
Susie Wiles is an incredible Chief of Staff, a great person, and one of the strongest people I know but, unfortunately, she has been diagnosed with early stage breast cancer, and has decided to take on this challenge, IMMEDIATELY, as opposed to waiting. She has a fantastic medical team, and her prognosis is excellent!
During the treatment period, she will be spending virtually full time at the White House, which makes me, as President, very happy! Her Strength and her Commitment to continue doing the job she loves, and does so well, while undergoing treatment, tells you everything you need to know about her.
Susie, as one of my closest and most important advisors, is tough and deeply committed to serving the American People. She will soon be better than ever! Melania and I are with her in every way, and we look forward to working with Susie on the many big and wonderful things that are happening for the benefit of our Country! President DONALD J. TRUMP
