President Donald Trump teased a “very, very big announcement” ahead of his upcoming trip to the Middle East.
Trump has a planned visit to Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar in the coming days.
“We’re going to have a very, very big announcement to make, like as big as it gets,” Trump said. “And I won’t tell you on what … and it’s very positive.”
“It is really, really positive. And that announcement will be made either Thursday or Friday or Monday before we leave,” Trump said. “But it’ll be one of the most important announcements that have been made in many years about a certain subject, very important subject. So you’ll all be here.”
After that, the president asked Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney if he’d like to say a few words.
“I’m on the edge of my seat,” Carney said, drawing laughter from the press before thanking Trump for his “hospitality” and “leadership.”
