During an interview with Chuck Todd on Meet The Press this morning on NBC News, H.R. McMaster addressed the Steve Bannon rumors, specifically whether or not they can work together despite Trump's suspicions of Bannon leaking. Todd asked McMaster if he and Bannon could continue working in the same White House: "I am ready to work with anybody who will help advance the president's agenda and advance the security, prosperity of the American people."
- On Charlottesville: "I think what terrorism is, is the use of violence to incite terror and fear. And, of course, it was terrorism."
- On Tillerson: "Well, we should always take Secretary of State Tillerson at his word. He is a tremendously talented leader and diplomat."
- On North Korea: "The president doesn't draw red lines. What he does is he asks us to make sure that we have viable options for him."
