Donald Trump will speak at a military meeting summoned by Pete Hegseth

(Washington) President Donald Trump will speak on Tuesday at a meeting convened in a hurry with senior military officials, according to a person aware of his projects.

Hundreds of generals and admirals – superior commanders with at least one star and their main advisers – have been summoned from all over the world to the basis of the Marines in Quantico, Virginia, without notice from the Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth.

This person was not authorized to discuss the president’s projects before the public announcement of his participation and expressed himself under the guise of anonymity.

The news of this meeting was revealed on Thursday. Donald Trump did not seem to be aware when he was questioned for the first time by journalists in the oval office. “I will be there if they want me to come, but why do we make a whole story?” “He said.

His participation in the meeting increases the risk of a politicization of the event before a non -partisan audience made up of military leaders. For example, in June, he delivered a campaign speech in front of the staff in Uniform at Fort Bragg, in North Carolina, attacking his Democratic predecessor, Joe Biden.

The Republican President also extends his use of the army in American cities, arguing that it is necessary to combat crime in places where Democratic leaders fail to ensure public security.

The National Guard continues to patrol in the District of Columbia, and a more limited deployment is planned in Memphis, in Tennessee. Donald Trump said on Saturday that he would also send troops to Portland, Oregon to protect the city from “national terrorists”.

Despite the objections of local authorities and the State of California, Donald Trump has already sent the National Guard and Marines to active service to Los Angeles, where demonstrations against immigrant roundups were held.

The spokesperson for the Pentagon has already confirmed that Mr. Hegseth “will be for senior military officials at the start of next week”.

The army has 800 generals and admirals of all grades. They order thousands of soldiers and are stationed in more than a dozen countries and time zones around the world.

THE Washington Post was the first to announce that Mr. Trump was planning to attend the next meeting.
