US Defense Secretary to Convene Top US Military Leaders Worldwide Next Week; Trump Responds

Jinse Finance reported that when asked about the issue of U.S. Secretary of Defense Hegseth convening senior U.S. military leaders from around the world for a meeting next week, U.S. President Trump responded: "I think that's fine... Is there a problem with that? Why make it such big news?" Vice President Vance stated: "This is not particularly unusual... What's strange is that you are making it into big news." Previously, some media reported that Hegseth had requested "hundreds" of admirals and generals stationed around the world to gather at the Marine Corps base in Virginia early next week, for reasons unknown.
