VTV.vn - Britain's defense secretary, Michael Fallon, has resigned over allegations about his past conduct, amid a growing outcry over claims inappropriate behavior to a radio broadcaster 15 years ago.

In Fallon's resignation letter to the Prime Minister Theresa May, he has admitted his previous behaviour, and resigned because he did not meet the standards that the military and the United Kingdom expected. Michael Fallon had many contributions to four UK Prime Ministers.

Fallon's resignation may force the Prime Minister Theresa May to restructure the cabinet. A process predicted to be very difficult while the Prime Minister Theresa May is still dealing with the Brexit issues.
