白宫新闻发言人萨拉・桑德斯月底离职
U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that press secretary Sarah Sanders will be leaving the White House at the end of this month.
美国总统特朗普周四宣布，新闻发言人萨拉·桑德斯将于本月底离职。
Trump made the announcement in a pair of tweets, adding that Sanders will return to Arkansas, her home state.
"She is a very special person with extraordinary talents, who has done an incredible job! I hope she decides to run for Governor of Arkansas - she would be fantastic," the president wrote.
He has not named a replacement for Sanders.
Sanders, 36, is the third woman to have served as White House press secretary and is one of Trump's closest and most loyal aides.
Speaking to an event at the White House on Thursday afternoon, Trump said that Sanders will join the private sector.
Sanders, who later spoke briefly at the podium, called her tenure "truly the most special experience."
