Former President Donald Trump said on June 11 that claims suggesting he would consider a mandatory draft if reelected are “completely untrue” and that he has “never even thought” of the idea.

The former president was responding to an article from The Washington Post, which cited “a cluster of influential former administration officials and GOP lawmakers,” that suggested he could re-instate mandatory military service for younger adults.
