U.S. Senate summons to White House for North Korea Briefing

Trump administration officials will hold a briefing on Wednesday at the White House for the entire U.S. Senate on the situation in North Korea. All 100 senators have been asked to the White House for the briefing by Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis, Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats and General Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Top administration officials routinely travel to Capitol Hill to address members of Congress on foreign policy and national security matters, it is unusual for the entire 100 Member Senate to go to the White House.

U.S. officials have expressed mounting concern over North Korea's nuclear and missile tests, and its threats to attack the United States.
