Milley: Calls to China were ‘perfectly� within scope of job

ATHENS, Greece (AP) � The top U.S. military officer says calls he made to his Chinese counterpart in the final stormy months of Donald Trump's presidency were “perfectly within the duties and responsibilities� of his job.

In his first public comments on those conversations, Gen. Mark Milley said such calls are “routine� and were done “to reassure both allies and adversaries in this case in order to ensure strategic stability.�

The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff spoke on Friday to The Associated Press and another reporter traveling with him to Europe.

A new book says Milley made two calls to a Chinese general to assure him the United States wasn't going to suddenly go to war with or attack China.
