White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles has been diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer but intends to continue carrying out her duties in the West Wing while undergoing treatment, President Donald Trump announced.

Trump disclosed the diagnosis in a public statement, praising Wiles as a resilient and dedicated leader whose commitment to public service remains unwavering.

He said doctors had identified the cancer at an early stage and described her medical outlook as strong, expressing confidence that she would make a full recovery while continuing her work at the White House.

According to the president, Wiles plans to begin treatment immediately but will remain closely involved in managing the administration’s day-to-day operations.

Trump said she would continue spending much of her time working from the White House and would remain one of his most trusted advisers during the treatment period.

Wiles, sixty-eight, has served as White House chief of staff since the beginning of Trump’s second presidential term in January two thousand twenty-five.

A veteran Republican strategist, she played a central role in orchestrating Trump’s successful two thousand twenty-four presidential campaign and has been widely credited with building a disciplined and highly coordinated operation inside the administration.

In a statement acknowledging her diagnosis, Wiles emphasized the importance of early detection and noted that many women continue to lead active professional and family lives while confronting the disease.

She said she was grateful for the support of her medical team and encouraged by the strong prognosis provided by her doctors.

Trump responded with strong public support, describing Wiles as “one of the strongest people I know” and praising her determination to remain fully engaged in her role.

He also thanked the medical professionals overseeing her care and expressed confidence that she would soon return to full strength.

Wiles is the first woman in United States history to serve as White House chief of staff, a position widely regarded as one of the most influential roles in American government.

Throughout her career she has been known for operating largely behind the scenes while guiding major political strategy and coordinating presidential priorities.

Despite the diagnosis, officials said there are no plans for changes to the leadership structure of the West Wing.

Colleagues and allies have expressed support for Wiles and highlighted her reputation for discipline, loyalty and strategic focus as the administration continues to advance its policy agenda.
