Trump’s Pentagon chief says he ‘cannot wait to leave’ his job

Donald Trump’s acting Pentagon chief says he “cannot wait” to leave his job in less than a week.

Acting Secretary of Defence Christopher Miller made the surprising comments to press as he returned from a trip to Nebraska, Tennessee and Colorado.

Mr Miller, who has only been in the job for two months, spoke out when he was asked about the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, the most expensive weapons system in history.

"I so... I mean, I cannot wait to leave this job, believe me,” he replied according to a Department of Defence transcript.
