Military commanders discuss the acceleration of anti-terrorist operations, allowing the Pentagon or even the field commanders to approve this step, representatives of the Ministry of defense. The military tend to increase the raids in Yemen, such as that which occurred in the first week of the presidency of the trump. It is not yet clear whether or not the adjustment is approved and used for these operations. "It's a philosophy more than a change in policy," said the press Secretary of the White house Sean Spicer. At the same time, Spicer said "the Protocol is not changing from the point of view of what should be signed" and that "there are certain decisions must be signed by the President." A senior representative of the Ministry of defense stressed that this does not mean that the President will not be informed. The Minister of defence of the USA James Mattis, and senior military commanders can brief the President at any time and get his specific approval. Under the Obama administration, the White house has retained significant control over mandated missions were controlled by the use of new military equipment, or highly specialized units. Several officials of defense announced that President Barack Obama was careful in these types of missions, and would in many cases be able to review and approve them.
