Pentagon ’Worried Trump Was Going To Declare War on N Korea’
Local Editor
Some officials at the Pentagon where reportedly concerned that US President Donald Trump was set to declare war on North Korea when he started tweeting about his plans for the military.
"At the Pentagon, the first of the three tweets raised fears that the president was getting ready to announce strikes on North Korea or some other military action," BuzzFeed reported.
"Many said they were left in suspense for nine minutes, the time between the first and second tweet. Only after the second tweet did military officials receive the news the president was announcing a personnel change on Twitter."
The news site said War Secretary Jim Mattis is on vacation this week, and officials said he knew Trump was considering the policy change. It said it was unclear if he approved of it.
The news fits with the confused and seemingly shambolic way in which Trump announced his news, the reversal of years of hard-fought progress that had been made by members of the LGBTQ community in regards to the military.
After Trump announced the news on Twitter, the Pentagon directed all questions on the issue to the White House.
