Trump says he will make a 'very big announcement' before departing for Middle East
US president says announcement will be 'as big as it gets,' but declined to offer any specifics on what it might entail other than to say it is 'very positive'
WASHINGTON
US President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he will be making a "very, very big announcement" before he departs for the Middle East later this month.
Trump said the announcement, which he did not specify, would be "as big as it gets," but declined to offer any specifics on what it might entail other than to say it is "very positive."
"That announcement will be made either Thursday or Friday or Monday before we leave, but it'll be one of the most important announcements that have been made in many years about a certain subject," he said at the White House as he hosted Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.
The White House announced last month that Trump will visit Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates from May 13-16. The trip was supposed to Trump's first abroad, but Pope Francis' April death prompted him to travel to Rome for the solemn funeral service.
