Trump says US cities should be military training grounds

US President Donald Trump said he wanted to use American cities as “training reasons” for the army.

In an unusual speech by hundreds of military leaders who gathered from all over the world, Trump described “civil turmoil” as “the enemy from within.” He added that the situation “will not go out of control as soon as you share it.”

This comes after Trump deployed the National Guard forces in Washington, DC, Los Angeles and Portland, Oregon, in a campaign of crime and support for immigration application.

Defense Minister Beit Higseth also spoke, announced the end of the “wake up” culture in the Pentagon and announced the new physical fitness standards for military officials “male”.

The President reiterated his criticism of democratic -led cities, including San Francisco, Chicago, New York and Los Angeles, and indicated that he would continue his policy in using the army to enforce the law.

“It is very unsafe places and we will correct them one after the other,” he said, adding that it will be “a major part of some people in this room.”

“It is a war from within. Control of the material lands of our borders is necessary for national security. We cannot allow these people to enter,” he added.

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker accused Trump of using military forces, immigration and customs benefit (ICE) of “invasion and disrupting” American cities.

“Our forces and our nation deserve better than they act as a trivial tyrant energy.”

Security was very narrow for the title in Marine Corps Base Quantico, a 55,000 acres of 55,000 acres in Virginia. The summit represented a rare gathering of many senior employees in one place.

The generals and Admirals have silently listened to the two men.

The event began entitled Higseth, which announced that the US military will ask fighters to meet the “highest male level” in fitness tests.

Higseth acknowledged that this step may exclude some women from service.

“The standards should be uniform, neutral between the sexes and high,” Higseth told the crowd.

Higseth explained his visions of the cultural shift in the Pentagon and the largest “spirit of the warrior”. Trump, who spoke after that.

His speech focused on the culture of the American army, training, leadership, and “reforming contracts for decadence”, including DEI programs (diversity, fairness and integration) and strengthening the “risk” officers ’Corps.

He said that these officers were concerned about the “climate change deviations”, “the garbage woke up” and fears of what they described as “toxic” leaders.

In addition to announcing changes in fitness standards, HegSeth pledged to end the “non -professional appearances” – including beard exemptions – and unknown complaints procedures, as part of the largest sections changes.

He also addressed the previous shooting of senior leaders, saying that he went with his “intestine” and rid the army, which he believes will not turn away from the policies set in previous departments.

“More leadership changes will be made, I am sure,” I am sure.

No official reason was publicly presented when the generals were called in a short notice last week, which prompted a wave of speculation about what Trump and Hegseth will say.

Speaking of Higseth’s reforms, Trump said that the focus on “fitness, ability and personality” is not “protecting anyone’s feelings.”

“The protection of our country will not be political when it comes to defending American freedom,” he said.

The President also applauded his move to rename the Ministry of Defense as the Ministry of War.

He said that the Pentagon’s secondary title was “very common”, even among his critics, and contributed to what he repeatedly claimed that the high employment numbers.

He said, “It is a historical re -establishment of our purpose, identity and pride.”

There was a little visible or audible reaction from the combined generals and senior individuals recruited in the audience, who was often silent except for the voice of hundreds of shoes that were noticeable when he took the stage and stopped. Many took notes on some military field laptops as Higseths occur.

Trump then took the theater, joking: “I have never been walking to a silent room before.”

He continued to note: “Together, we are reformulating the spirit of the warrior. This is a spirit that has won and built this nation.”

In a large -scale speech, the US President continued to accumulate the achievements of the US military – and his second presidency.

He indicated that he had “settled” seven wars, and he hoped in the eighth – if Hamas accepted the Gaza proposal that he came with Israel.

Before this event, US Vice President JD Vance accused the media of turning the meeting into a “big story”, stressing that he was “unusual” against Hegseth generals personally.

Some observers did not agree. “By saying:” by saying: “with regard to my 49 -year -old service, I have not seen that before.”

“It is a confusing thing why this is not actually done so that senior officers are not forced to spend a lot of time to travel,” said Mark Kansian of the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

The purpose of the meeting explained in advance, Trump told NBC News that it would be an exercise in the generation of some “Esprit De Corps” – which indicates that he saw an opportunity to motivate his forces.
