Defense Secretary Jim Mattis on Friday called NBC News report that said the Pentagon was in damage-control mode to reassure NATO allies after President Trumps visit fiction. Mattis, during a press gaggle on the way to Oslo, Norway, brought up the report, which claimed that hours after Trump departed NATO, U.S. military leaders embarked on a full-scale damage-control operation across Europe.
The report said U.S. military leaders were directed by the Pentagon leadership in response to Trump threatening to reassess U.S. commitments in the region.

NBC News is a total disgrace.
