US EditionTrump demands Microsoft oust global affairs chief over Biden-era ties
Trump alleges Lisa Monaco's past roles in Democratic administrations and her access to sensitive data at Microsoft pose a national security risk amid ongoing political conflicts.
- On Friday, U.S. President Donald Trump publicly urged Microsoft to dismiss Lisa Monaco, its President of Global Affairs, calling her `a menace to U.S. National Security` on Truth Social.
- Lisa Monaco, former Deputy Attorney General, joined Microsoft in July 2025 to lead government relations, but her security clearances were revoked earlier this year.
- Microsoft's government contracts include Azure services for defense and intelligence, powering Pentagon AI and CIA clouds, while analysts warn losing them could cost billions and pressure its $3T valuation.
- Microsoft declined to comment and it remains unknown whether the company will comply with U.S. President Donald Trump's request, while observers say this fits his 2025 pattern pressuring firms and could chill executive hires.
- The timing followed the Comey indictment and Microsoft's recent Israel service cuts, with far-right activist Laura Loomer alerting Trump to Monaco's hire and influencing his demand.
