U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's undisclosed meeting of senior military leaders at a Marine Corps base in Virginia sparked media speculation. When questioned, President Trump downplayed the incident, saying, "I think it's a good thing... What's the problem with that? Why are you making such a big deal about it?" Vice President Mike Pence echoed this sentiment, calling the media coverage overly sensational.
The unusual gathering of hundreds of global military commanders comes at a time of heightened geopolitical tensions, though officials insisted the meeting adhered to standard procedure. Market analysts note that such events typically have limited direct impact on the cryptocurrency market, but BTC and other major assets tend to fluctuate during periods of geopolitical uncertainty.
