Despite the error, Trump refused calls to apologize, saying that the Fallis was “doing his best.”
“I don’t think he should apologize,” Trump said during a meeting with the ambassadors. “I think he is doing his best. It’s equipment and technology is not perfect.”
He added: “Perhaps it will not use it again, at least not in the very near future.”
“Our national security is stronger than before. We have succeeded in success and many attacks in this field (Yemen). These are the people (the Houthis) who dropped the ships directly from the water. It also coincides with release anything in the region. A long time ago.
During the meeting, Trump asked the National Security Agency to say something about the case, Waltz said: “There are many journalists in the city who have achieved great names for themselves, and compensate lies about this president. We are looking for how this person in particular coordinates this effort.”
Goldberg, who has access to a high -level national security conversation entitled “Houthi PC Small Group”, detailed in an article how he inadvertently received updates in the actual time of planned air strikes in Yemen.
Goldberg wrote: “According to the long text, the first bombing in Yemen will feel two hours from here, at 1.45 pm East time,” Goldberg wrote. “So I waited in my car in a car park in the supermarket. If this sign chat was real, it was thought about, the Houthi targets will be bombed soon. At about 1.55, I reviewed X and searched Yemen. Then the explosions were heard throughout SANA, the capital.”
While the unexpected arrival of Goldberg did not harm the military operation, the violation has caused widespread concern about the security weaknesses within the Trump administration.
During the meeting, Trump also raised questions about the safety of cryptocurrencies such as signal, which alludes to a potential transformation to alternative communication tools.
“Can people storm conversations? If this is true, we will have to find another form of devices,” Trump said. “I think this is something we might have to do. Some people love a lot, may not be doing it, but we will look at it.”
Waltz has cost the investigation of possible weaknesses, saying: “Michael, I asked you to study it immediately and know if people are able to storm the system.”
In response, Waltz assured the president that technical experts at the White House and legal teams were actively reviewing the situation.
Waltz said: “Of course, we will keep everything as safe as possible.” “No one in the national security team has exposed anyone in danger. As I said, we have repeatedly said that the attack was huge, and it was continuing.”
