Sept. 28, 2025, 12:56 PM EDTBy Yamiche Alcindor and Alexandra MarquezWASHINGTON — President Donald Trump in an interview with NBC News Sunday, confirmed that he plans to attend an unusual meeting organized by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that will gather hundreds of senior military officers near Washington on Tuesday.“It’s really just a very nice meeting talking about how well we’re doing militarily, talking about being in great shape, talking about a lot of good, positive things. It’s just a good message,” Trump told NBC News in a phone call. “We have some great people coming in and it’s just an ‘esprit de corps.’ You know the expression ‘esprit de corps’? That’s all it’s about. We’re talking about what we’re doing, what they’re doing, and how we’re doing.”Hegseth last week summoned hundreds of senior military leaders, who are stationed all over the world, to Washington for a meeting of the Pentagon’s top brass.The event will be held at Quantico Marine Corps Base in Virginia, about 30 minutes south of Washington. The base will host potentially thousands of military members, including the top brass, their aides and their security.Senior admirals and generals were not informed beforehand about the purpose of the meeting.One official familiar with the plans for the meeting told NBC News last week that the purpose of the meeting is for Hegseth to highlight military accomplishments and to discuss the future of the Defense Department under his leadership. Messages like this are typically communicated to top military brass via memo or secure teleconference.Trump also praised Hegseth’s plans on Thursday, telling reporters at the White House, “I know, I love it, I mean I think it’s great.”“Let him be friendly with the generals and admirals from all over the world,” he added. “You act like this is a bad thing. Isn’t it nice that people are coming from all over the world to be with us?”Hegseth also recently worked with the president to rebrand the Department of Defense as the “Department of War” and ordered staffing cuts among high-ranking military officials.The meeting comes ahead of a potential government shutdown next week. The Trump administration last week warned that it could carry out mass layoffs of federal workers who would usually be furloughed, or temporarily relieved from work, if the government shuts down.Congressional Republican and Democratic leaders are currently at an impasse ahead of the Sept. 30 government funding deadline, but Trump plans to meet with top congressional leaders on both sides of the aisle at the White House on Monday.Yamiche AlcindorYamiche Alcindor is a White House correspondent for NBC News.Alexandra MarquezAlexandra Marquez is a politics reporter for NBC News.

Nov. 27, 2025, 8:11 PM ESTBy Katherine DoylePresident Donald Trump suggested Thursday night that the U.S. could “very soon” begin targeting alleged Venezuelan drug traffickers on land, expanding operations that have so far focused on the Caribbean Sea.In Thanksgiving remarks to U.S. troops around the world, Trump thanked the Air Force’s 7th Bomb Wing for their work to “deter Venezuelan drug traffickers” and said “it’s about 85% stopped by sea … and we’ll be starting to stop them by land.”“Also, the land is easier, but that’s going to start very soon,” the president added, speaking from his Mar-a-Lago estate.The comments come as Trump weighs whether to take military action against Venezuela as part of what his administration has called a campaign against drug trafficking. Senior U.S. military officials have also made recent visits to leaders in the Caribbean.For months, the president has intensified U.S. military presence in the region, ramping up pressure on Venezuela with strikes on alleged drug boats since early September. The military has carried out nearly two dozen known strikes on vessels they said were carrying drugs, killing at least 82 people.The USS Gerald R. Ford, a major aircraft carrier, arrived in the Caribbean last week, rounding out a build-up of U.S. military forces in the region that has not been seen for decades.The U.S. last week also designated the Cartel de los Soles, a group Washington alleges is run by Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, as a foreign terrorist organization.Maduro has denied having any ties to the drug trade, and has accused the U.S. of “fabricating” a war against him.U.S. designates Cartel de los Soles as a foreign terrorist organization06:53The moves by the Trump administration have raised both expectations and concerns of a possible strike inside Venezuela.Yet even as he increases military pressure, Trump has said that he could still hold talks with Maduro, suggesting a possible diplomatic pathway to defuse the mounting tensions.“I might talk to him,” Trump said aboard Air Force One this week. “We’ll see. We’re discussing this with different staff.”Asked about the administration’s continued targeting of narcotraffickers on Monday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters that “you can expect to see those strikes continue.”NBC News previously reported that according to current and former U.S. law enforcement and military officials as well as narcotics experts, drug cartels operating vessels in the Caribbean are mainly moving cocaine from South America to Europe — not to the U.S.During his remarks on Thursday, Trump also spoke with members of other military service groups, offering to take “any damn question you want.”Military members praised him, told stories and asked questions about his presidency, with a Marine speaking from Camp Santiago, Puerto Rico, saying that his battalion was ready to support the president’s operation against narcoterrorists.Katherine DoyleKatherine Doyle is a White House reporter for NBC News.
