Milley secretly called Chinese officials out of fear Trump would 'attack' in final days, book claims

A new book claims Gen. Mark Milley called Chine officials in fear that Trump would "attack" during his remaining time in the White House.

According to the book, Milley contacted Zuocheng after he had reviewed intelligence that suggested Chinese officials believed the United States was planning an attack on China amid military exercises in the South China Sea.

"General Li, I want to assure you that the American government is stable and everything is going to be OK," Milley told him during the first call, the book said. "We are not going to attack or conduct any kinetic operations against you."
