Pentagon pulls out of Aspen Security Forum citing the 'evil of globalism'

For years officials and experts from around the world have gathered in Colorado for the Aspen Security Forum to thrash out foreign policy and security issues.

It prides itself on being a bipartisan event, but this year is a little different.

At the last minute the Pentagon cancelled the participation of its top officials.

A spokesperson said the event "promotes the evil of globalism, disdain for our great country and hatred for the president of the United States."
