US President Donald Trump will attend a meeting with US generals and admirals in Quantico, Virginia, on Tuesday, a rare gathering of the country’s military leadership in one location, the Washington Post reports, citing a planning document.
There is no immediate comment from the White House on Trump attending the meeting.
At the meeting, 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, US officials told Reuters on Friday.
The US 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.
In almost every public speech he gives, Hegseth talks about the “warrior ethos” and the need for the US military to have a warrior mentality.
