US President Donald Trump canceled a “Top Secret” meeting on the relationship with China, from Pentagon, after learning that billionaire Elon Musk, who has business in China, reports Axios. Following the episode of March, two officials were dismissed.
“What the hell does Elon are looking for there? Make sure you don't participate,” said President Trump, according to an American official for the cited publication, after finding out that Musk was informed and called for the secret meeting in March, which Donald Trump later canceled.
The American Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, suspended two high-ranking officials in the Pentagon, on the grounds that they informed Elon Musk about the secret meeting on the United States plans for a war with China, according to the quoted source. It's about Dan Caldwell and Darin Selnick.
“The president still appreciates Elon, but there are red lines. Elon has many businesses in China and good relationships there, and this briefing was not suitable,” said the official quoted by the American publication.
After the Reuters news agency wrote about the suspension of Dan Caldwell, Axios reports that a third official of the American Defense Department was put on administrative leave, Darin Selnick, citing Politico.
We recall that on March 20, The New York Times cited two American officials who told the publication that the Pentagon is going to inform the billionaire Elon Musk about the US Army plan in a war that could erupt with China.
