President Donald Trump told top military brass that the US is fighting an "invasion from within," as he used a highly unusual gathering of officers stationed around the world to deliver a largely political speech that highlighted border security and rooting out "woke" culture. "After spending trillions of dollars defending the borders of foreign countries, with your help, we're defending the borders of our country," Trump said on Tuesday at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia. "It's the enemy from within, and we have to handle it before it gets out of control," he added.
