Trump teases ‘very, very large announcement’ prior to the journey in the middle East

President Trump repeatedly responded to a future announcement: “One of the most important announcements that have been made on a certain subject in many years” during an Oval Office meeting on Tuesday with Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada.

He never said what he could talk about, or to what ‘very important’ subject he refers, only suggesting that it would be made before he leaves for a trip to the middle -east next week. But even the timing of the big announcement wandered, with Mr. Trump said that it will be made “Thursday or Friday or Monday.”

“We will have a very, very big announcement to make. If the big as it gets. And I will not tell you about what,” Mr Trump said before he added, “It’s really, really positive.”

The curious episode was a particularly pronounced example of Mr. Trump’s Showmanshiphe has used in his campaigns And chairmanship To attract and retain the attention of the media without actually giving substantive news.
