WASHINGTON — Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Marty Makary is resigning from his role, according to an administration source familiar with the matter. Kyle Diamantas, the top food regulator at the agency, will step in as acting commissioner.
President Donald Trump confirmed Makary’s resignation while taking questions from reporters ahead of his trip to China.
“He’s going to go on and he’s going to lead a good life,” Trump said of Makary. “He was having some difficulty. He’s a great doctor. He’s going to go on and do well. Everybody wants that job.”
