Donald Trump has three words for those awaiting his foreign policy team: "in due time."

During an interview on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," co-host Mika Brzezinski pressed the issue of Trump's repeated promise to have already announced his team of foreign policy advisers. On Feb. 9, for example, Trump told Fox News that he would have a list ready in "about two weeks." That was nearly a month ago.

“Well, I’m not doing it this morning, Mika. You do always ask me that question, and I said I would have it in due time, and I’ve been meeting with some tremendous people, and I haven’t made exactly my decision yet, but you’ll have it in due time," Trump said.

Brzezinski then asked if there is a team at all. Trump announced last week that Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions would chair the campaign's national security advisory committee.

“Yes, there is a team," Trump said, before reversing himself within seconds, "There’s not a team. I’m going to be forming a team. I’ve met with far more than three people, and I’ll be forming a team at the appropriate time.”

Pointing to Sessions, "who wasn’t on board the last time I spoke to you because he just endorsed me last week," Trump said he is "dealing with numerous other people," adding that he will be making a decision "in a fairly short period of time.”
