Trump Calls for Microsoft to Dismiss Global Affairs Head

President Donald Trump has demanded that Microsoft terminate Lisa Monaco, the company's president of global affairs.

Trump cited Monaco's previous roles under Barack Obama and Joe Biden, claiming her current position allows access to sensitive information. He expressed this view on Truth Social, labeling it as unacceptable.

Monaco, who joined Microsoft in May, oversees cybersecurity policy and global government relations. Earlier this year, Trump revoked her security clearance, along with several other officials.

Far-right activist Laura Loomer has criticized Monaco's hiring and urged the cancellation of Microsoft's government contracts. Trump has previously targeted tech executives, including Intel's Lip-Bu Tan.

This incident is not the first time Trump has focused on tech leaders. After Intel's government stake deal, Trump described Tan as a respected CEO.
