Donald Trump reposted Gabbard's letter on the social network Truth Social and lamented the director's departure.

"I have no doubt that he [Gabbard's husband] will soon be better than ever. Tulsi did an incredible job and we will miss her very much," said the US president.

Term marked by disagreement with the White House
In recent weeks, White House officials have heard rumors that Gabbard plans to step down. But until two weeks ago, she denied that she was leaving the government, a senior federal administration official said.

Her tenure was marked by contradictory and confusing messages, particularly regarding the US war with Iran, which at times put her at odds with the White House.

Gabbard is an Army National Guard veteran and former Democratic congressman, having represented Hawaii's 2nd Congressional District. She made history as the first Samoan-American and practicing Hindu in Congress.

She ran for President for the Democratic Party in 2020, presenting herself as a veteran of the Iraq War and a defender of an anti-interventionist foreign policy, before leaving the party two years later.

In 2024, he supported Trump, campaigning with him and helping him prepare for the debate with then-Vice President Kamala Harris.

Gabbard joined the Republican Party before the election and was a member of Trump's transition team after his victory. The president then named her director of national intelligence, the highest position overseeing the 18 agencies that make up the intelligence community.

Recently, Kristi Noem, Secretary of Homeland Security, and Pam Bondi, Attorney General, also resigned from the Trump administration.
