WASHINGTON, March 15 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Donald Trump has decided to sack H.R. McMaster, his national security adviser, and was "actively" talking about other potential replacements, The Washington Post reported on Thursday.
Five people with knowledge of the plan were quoted by the U.S. media outlet as saying that Trump was "comfortable" with firing McMaster, with whom he has never had personal chemistry.
They added that Trump was willing to take time implementing the move so as to ensure McMaster does not feel "humiliated" and that there is a strong successor to replace him.
If confirmed, the change of personnel was expected to mark yet another shakeup in the senior ranks of the Trump administration.
The president announced his decision to fire Secretary of State Rex Tillerson on Tuesday, replacing him with Mike Pompeo, the current chief of Central Intelligence Agency.
