US President Donald Trump announced on Monday that there were no armies of rich countries around the world.

Trump believes that these countries are exploiting his country, and that he disagreed with his outgoing Defense Secretary James Matisse on this particular point.

Matisse resigned from office, joining a series of high-ranking officials who resigned in the Trump administration since taking office almost two years ago.

The move came a day after Trump announced the withdrawal of US troops from Syria, which Matisse opposed
