Donald Trump Downplays Disclosure of Sensitive Military Information
"Damage control" is how many are characterizing the Trump administration’s response to a leak of highly classified information.
The incident involved an online group chat that went viral, with 18 senior officials participating, including the CIA director, the defense secretary, the national security adviser, and the vice president. An American journalist was also part of the chat and was given access to U.S. plans to strike Houthi positions in Yemen—before the strikes occurred.
This breach has sparked concerns about the handling of military intelligence and top-secret information. Questions are now being raised: Will there be consequences beyond Washington? And how will long-standing allies in Europe react to being criticized in the chat?
