By CHRIS MEGERIANWASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump will speak at a hastily-called meeting of top military leaders on Tuesday, according to a person with knowledge of his plans.
News about the meeting broke Thursday, and Trump didn’t seem to know about it when first asked by reporters during an Oval Office appearance.
Trump’s participation in the meeting raises the likelihood of a politicized event in front of a nonpartisan audience of military leaders.
On Saturday, Trump said he would also send troops to Portland, Oregon, to protect against “domestic terrorists.”Over the objections of local and state officials, Trump previously sent the National Guard and active-duty Marines to Los Angeles, where there were protests against immigration raids.
The Pentagon’s top spokesman has previously confirmed that Hegseth “will be addressing his senior military leaders early next week.”Across the military, there are 800 generals and admirals of all ranks.
