In a recent meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, President Trump hinted at a monumental announcement set to be revealed before his upcoming trip to the Middle East, calling it one of the most important declarations in years.
During the meeting in the Oval Office on Tuesday, President Trump made a brief but tantalizing remark about the forthcoming announcement:
“It’ll be one of the most important announcements that have been made in many years about a certain subject, a very important subject,” Trump said before introducing Carney.
Prime Minister Carney, clearly intrigued, responded:
“I’m on the edge of my seat.”
Although the details of the announcement remain under wraps, Trump’s comments came shortly after his declaration that the U.S. will halt its bombing campaign against the Houthis in Yemen. This shift follows communication from the Houthis, who reportedly expressed a desire to cease fighting.
While the exact nature of the major announcement is unclear, Trump emphasized that it would be a positive development.
“It’s going to be very, very big, like as big as it gets, and I’ll tell you on what, but it’s really, really positive,” Trump said. “I can’t keep that out.”
The announcement is expected to take place before Trump’s departure for the Middle East, with plans to visit Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar. The president hinted that the news could be made public by either Thursday, Friday, or Monday before he leaves for the trip.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio also weighed in on the positive shift in U.S. foreign policy, particularly the successful reduction of threats against global shipping posed by the Houthis.
“This is an important development, as we’ve successfully completed our goal of neutralizing their threat,” Rubio said.
With anticipation building, all eyes will be on Trump’s upcoming announcement, which promises to be a significant moment in both U.S. foreign policy and global affairs.
