U.S. planning something big? Donald Trump to speak at urgently-called meeting of top military officials

U.S. President Donald Trump will attend a meeting with U.S. generals and admirals in Quantico, Virginia, on Tuesday, a rare gathering of the country's military leadership in one location, according to multiple reports. There was no immediate comment from the White House on Trump attending the meeting. The U.S. has troops around the world, including in distant locations like South Korea, Japan and across the Middle East -- which are commanded by two-, three- and four-star generals and admirals. Across the military, there are 800 generals and admirals of all ranks. Many command thousands of service members and are stationed across the world in more than a dozen countries and time zones.

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. Hundreds of generals and admirals — senior commanders of the one-star rank or higher and their top advisers — have been summoned for the gathering at the Marine Corps base in Quantico, Virginia, with little notice by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is expected to discuss the need to adhere to a "warrior ethos" throughout the military and could touch on other areas during the roughly one-hour-long event, U.S. officials told Reuters on Friday. In almost every public speech he gives, Hegseth talks about the "warrior ethos" and the need for the U.S. military to have a warrior mentality.


Hegseth, a former Fox News host, has moved with stunning speed to reshape the department, firing top generals and admirals as he seeks to implement Trump's national security agenda and root out diversity initiatives he calls discriminatory.

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. The Pentagon’s top spokesman has confirmed that Hegseth “will be addressing his senior military leaders early next week.”
