"Hundreds of top-ranking officers to convene in Quantico after being summoned by US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. President Donald Trump says that he will tell a gathering of US generals and admirals in Quantico, Virginia, that they are cherished leaders who need to be strong and tough. Hundreds of generals and admirals, senior commanders of the one-star rank or higher and their top advisers, have been summoned by United States Secretary of War Pete Hegseth from all over the world."
"I want to tell the generals that we love them; they're cherished leaders; to be strong, be tough and be smart and be compassionate, Trump told the Reuters news agency in an interview. That's all that is, esprit de corps. It's about time somebody did that, he added. Trump's attendance could overshadow Hegseth, who was expected to discuss the need to adhere to a warrior ethos throughout the military, and could touch on other areas."
United States Secretary of War Pete Hegseth summoned hundreds of senior commanders and top advisers from around the world to the Marine Corps base at Quantico on short notice. President Donald Trump said he will address the gathering of generals and admirals, telling them they are cherished leaders and urging them to be strong, tough, smart and compassionate. The meeting will include one-star-and-above officers who command U.S. forces in locations such as South Korea, Japan and the Middle East. Trump's presence raises concerns that the event could become politicized and overshadow Hegseth's focus on promoting a warrior ethos throughout the military.
