Everything we know about Trump’s announcement as he’s set to address nation today

President Donald Trump is scheduled to make an announcement at 2pm Eastern Time today, prompting widespread speculation about its content. The briefing will take place in the Roosevelt Room with the White House press pool, and his official schedule simply lists it as “The President makes an Announcement.”

One possible focus is Venezuela. This week, the country has been in the spotlight after two attacks on a boat allegedly carrying drugs. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt described the strikes as self-defense actions to protect Americans.

The second strike has generated controversy over its legality and authorization. While officials say Admiral Frank Bradley conducted the operation within his authority, Trump reportedly expressed he would not have wanted a second strike, describing the first as “very lethal.” Bradley is set to brief lawmakers confidentially on Thursday.

Another potential topic involves a new financial initiative for young people, known as “Trump Accounts.” Supported by a $6.25 billion donation from the Dell family, these accounts would allow children to hold $250 investments, with contributions from parents, guardians, or employers, growing tax-free.

The White House has not confirmed any details, leaving room for public speculation. Social media users have shared a mix of serious and humorous predictions, from policy announcements to jokingly suggesting alien revelations or trading US states.

Some commenters expressed hope for sweeping changes like cheaper healthcare or global peace, while others took a more satirical approach, highlighting the unpredictability of the announcement.

The announcement will officially air at 2pm ET, keeping both the public and media on edge about what the president intends to reveal.
