LISTEN TO TLR’S LATEST PODCAST:
Top Trump administration officials will hold a rare briefing on Wednesday at the White House for the entire U.S. Senate on the situation in North Korea, senior Senate aides said on Monday, reports Reuters.
All 100 senators have been asked to the White House for the briefing by Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis, Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats and General Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the aides said, according to Reuters.
It’s not unusual for select groups of the legislative body to meet with the President, or White House staff, but meeting with the entire collective of Senators is. Not to mention that the Senate will be meeting with those four top officials.
U.S. officials have expressed mounting concern over North Korea’s nuclear and missile tests, and its threats to attack the United States and its Asian allies, said Reuters.
The briefing will take place at 3 p.m. ET. House aides have also said they were working with the White House to set a similar briefing for members of the House of Representatives, reports Reuters.
