President Donald Trump cryptically suggested Thursday that a meeting with senior military leaders was "the calm before the storm."

"Maybe it's the calm before the storm," the president said after the White House called reporters out for a photo opportunity with officials and their spouses.

"We have the greatest military people in this room, I will tell you that," Trump added.

Asked what he meant by a "storm," Trump replied, "you'll find out."

Trump gave no hint what he could be referencing.
