Trump and Hegseth deny NYT report that ally due to be briefed on US military’s plan for any war that might break out with ChinaDonald Trump and his defense secretary Pete Hegseth have both denied reports that Elon Musk will be allowed to see the US military’s secret plan for a potential war with China when he visits the Pentagon today.The president posted about the matter not once, but twice on Truth Social.
