Donald Trump announced Tuesday that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was being replaced by CIA director Mike Pompeo.

Trump made the announcement via Twitter, also revealing that Gina Haspel, deputy director of the CIA, would replace Pompeo at the agency. She will be the first woman to hold the position.

The Washington Post reports that Trump asked Tillerson to step aside last Friday and the former Exxon Mobil executive cut short his trip to Africa to return to Washington Monday.
