Susie Wiles, the White House chief of staff, has been diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer, President Donald Trump announced on March 16.
The president said in a post on the social platform Truth Social that Wiles will continue to serve in her role during treatment.
"(She) has decided to take on this challenge, IMMEDIATELY, as opposed to waiting. She has a fantastic medical team, and her prognosis is excellent," Trump's post said. "During the treatment period, she will be spending virtually full time at the White House."
Wiles, who is the first female White House chief of staff, has served in that role since Trump's inauguration in January 2025. Here's what to know about her.
During a board meeting at the Kennedy Center shortly after announcing Wiles' diagnosis, Trump called her "fantastic" and an "amazing fighter."
