President Trump will deliver remarks this morning to top military brass from the Department of War in Quantico, Virginia.
It remains unclear what the President will discuss with military leaders from around the world during the unprecedented meeting.
However, reports suggest that planned cuts to the Department and a reduction of military posture in Europe and the Middle East could be announced.
One thing is for sure: this meeting is bringing a lot of attention and criticism from the Democrats and their media allies.
Per Fox:
As speculation swirls over why generals and flag officers from around the world were summoned, Trump insisted the purpose was celebratory.
“It’s really just a very nice meeting talking about how well we’re doing militarily, talking about being in great shape, talking about a lot of good, positive things. It’s just a good message,” Trump told NBC News.
“We have some great people coming in, and it’s just an ‘esprit de corps.’ You know the expression ‘esprit de corps’? That’s all it’s about. We’re talking about what we’re doing, what they’re doing, and how we’re doing.”
Hundreds of generals, admirals and their senior enlisted leaders — ranked one star and above — were ordered last week to attend the meeting with War Secretary Pete Hegseth.
The invitation offered no stated reason, fueling speculation it could herald mass cuts consistent with Hegseth’s push to shrink the general officer corps.
The President is scheduled to speak at 9:00 am ET.
