January 20 National Security Council meeting

The January 20 National Security Council meeting took place on January 20, 2017, in the Situation Room of the White House in Washington, D.C. The meeting was held over the loss in communications with the McMurdo Research Facility in Antarctica after American scientists reported an unidentified military force occupying the region. U.S. intelligence confirmed that it was Russia that had invaded and occupied the facility, but they denied any involvement. The incident was widely seen as Russia taking advantage of the ongoing constitutional crisis in the United States.
