President Donald Trump publicly disclosed that White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles has been diagnosed with breast cancer, revealing the news about his top aide without an apparent prior public announcement from Wiles herself.

Wiles, who managed Trump's 2024 presidential campaign and became the first woman to serve as White House Chief of Staff, has not issued a public statement about her diagnosis as of this report. Her prognosis and any treatment plan have not been confirmed by the White House.

The disclosure carries particular resonance for Florida residents. Wiles, a longtime Florida-based Republican operative, built her political career in the state before ascending to the highest staff position in the West Wing. Her relationships with Florida's federal delegation — including Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), now serving as Secretary of State, and Rep. Brian Mast (R-Fla.) — were forged during years of Sunshine State campaigns.

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among American women, according to the National Cancer Institute. The American Cancer Society estimates more than 310,000 new cases will be diagnosed in the United States in 2025.

No further details about Wiles's condition, her ability to continue in her role, or the circumstances under which Trump made the disclosure were available in public records at the time of publication.
