Just curious what she accomplishes there.

It’s unclear when the video was made, but Gabbard traveled to Japan last week, where she visited a U.S. military base alongside U.S. Ambassador to Japan George Glass. Gabbard did not visit Hiroshima during her first trip to Japan as DNI in March, according to a readout from her office.

When asked to clarify Gabbard’s comments in the video, Gabbard’s deputy chief of staff Alexa Henning said her concern about nuclear war is shared by President Donald Trump.

“President Trump has repeatedly stated in the past that he recognizes the immeasurable suffering, and annihilation can be caused by nuclear war, which is why he has been unequivocal that we all need to do everything possible to work towards peace,” Henning said in a statement. “DNI Gabbard supports President Trump’s clearly stated objectives of bringing about lasting peace and stability and preventing war.”
