Trump to address rare mass meeting
October 01, 2025
|The Mercury
PRESIDENT Donald Trump was yesterday expected to speak at a rare gathering of hundreds of senior US military officers summoned, without public explanation, from around the world to meet at a base near Washington.
-
No official reason has been given for the highly unusual meeting at Quantico.
It comes as the military has faced controversy both at home and abroad, with Trump deploying troops in two Democratic-run US cities and ordering lethal strikes on small, alleged drug boats in the Caribbean.
Trump, who oversaw a rare purge of senior officers after taking office, has also ordered strikes on Iranian nuclear sites and Tehran-backed Yemeni rebels.
The White House’s daily press guidance lists the 79-year-old Republican as delivering “remarks to the Department of War” at 9am.
The US president hailed the meeting when asked about it last week, saying in the Oval Office: “I love it. I mean, I think it’s great.”
