The forum is typically one of the most high-profile national security events and usually features current and former senior military and department officials, as well as relevant officials from the State Department and National Security Council from administrations of both parties.

"They are antithetical to the America First values of this administration. Senior representatives of the Department of Defense will no longer be participating in an event that promotes the evil of globalism, disdain for our great country, and hatred for the President of the United States," DOD Press Secretary Kingsley Wilson mewled.

The military officials listed on the agenda who will no longer appear include Gen. Stephen Whiting, CDR USSPACECOM; Gen. Randall Reed, CDR USTRANSCOM; Lt. Gen. John Brennan, D/CDR USAFRICOM; Vice Adm. Frank "Trey" Whitworth, D/NGIA; Adm. Samuel Paparo, CDR US Indo-Pac Command; David Cattler, D/DCSA; Gen. Bryan Fenton, commander of USSOCOM.
