United State’s chairman of the joint chiefs of staff Gen Mark Milley has publicly apologised for participating in Donald Trump’s photo-op at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Washington on June 1.

In a pre-recorded video commencement address Milley told the National Defense University: "I should not have been there. My presence at that moment and in that environment created a perception of the military involved in domestic politics."
