"If I don't like someone, I'll fire them on the spot": Trump on meeting with military commanders
Kyiv • UNN
US President Donald Trump announced his intention to fire senior military commanders if he doesn't like them at a meeting. US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth summoned hundreds of generals and admirals to a meeting without warning.
US President Donald Trump said he would fire top military commanders on the spot if he didn't like them at a meeting at the Quantico base, UNN reports.
"I'm going to meet with generals, admirals, and leaders. And if I don't like someone, I'll fire them on the spot," he said.
