General Mark Milley Under Fire For Calls With China

On Wednesday, a spokesperson for Milley did not deny the report but stated the calls were focused on conveying reassurance and strategic stability.

Gen. Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is under fire for two calls he reportedly made to his Chinese counterpart during the final months of the Trump administration seeking to reassure the U.S. would not strike China.  

Milley allegedly made the calls over concerns about actions former President Trump might take. 

"If we're going to attack, I'm going to call you ahead of time. It's not going to be a surprise," Milley reportedly told General Li of China.
