White House announces Susie Wiles diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer

President Donald Trump says White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, a longtime Florida political consultant, has breast cancer.

Trump said Wiles has an early-stage diagnosis and will continue to work full time at the White House.

“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,” Trump posted on Truth Social.

“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!”

Trump praised Wiles’ work ethic and expressed optimism about her condition.

“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,” he said.

“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! (First Lady) Melania (Trump) 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!”

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt also acknowledged the diagnosis in a post.

“Susie Wiles epitomizes what it means to be a strong leader. She is also one of the nicest people I’ve ever met,” Leavitt posted.

“Susie led President Trump’s historic 2024 comeback campaign and is now spearheading the most successful administration in history. I know I speak for the President and the entire White House when I say that we are all praying for Susie and rallying behind her as she prepares to fight this battle against breast cancer.”

Deputy White House Chief of Staff James Blair also praised Wiles online.

“Susie led President Trump’s team through illegitimate indictments, domestic spying by the former administration, rigged federal prosecutions, illegal law enforcement raids, general lawfare, assassination attempts and more,” he posted on X. “As with the rest, she will win this battle with grace.”
