President Donald Trump has teased that he’s about to make a “really, really positive” announcement in the coming days.
During his meeting with Canada’s new Prime Minister Mark Carney in the White House, Trump told reporters in the Oval Office:
“We’re going to have a very, very big announcement to make, like, as big as it gets.
“And I won’t tell you on what… and it’s very positive.”
Trump said he plans to make the announcement before he leaves for his trip to Saudi Arabia early next week.
“It is really, really positive,” Trump added.
“And 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, very important subject. So you’ll all be here.”
After that, the president asked Carney if he’d like to say a few words.
“I’m on the edge of my seat,” Carney said.
The comment drew laughter from the press before thanking Trump for his “hospitality” and “leadership.”
At the start of the meeting, Trump announced that the Houthis agreed to stop bombing shipping lanes.
He said the terrorists do not want to fight any longer as the U.S. has been launching daily airstrikes on Yemen since March 15.
In turn, the president said the U.S. would stop its bombardment of the Iran-backed terror group.
After teasing the imminent announcement, Trump went on to discuss trade.
However, the president circled back to clarify that the announcement would not necessarily be on that subject.
“We’re going to have a great announcement,” Trump said.
“And I’m not necessarily saying it’s on trade
“We’re going to have a great announcement over the next few days.
“Announcement that will be, so, so incredible, so positive.
“And I’m not saying… I don’t want you to think it’s necessarily on trade.”
WATCH:
Trump said the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA), which was agreed upon in 2020, would be renegotiated shortly.
However, it will be a “transitional” and “very positive step” away from the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
Trump said NAFTA was the “worst trade deal in the history of our country, probably in the history of the world.”
Asked about a potential new trade deal with Canada with Carney in power, Trump said he has “a lot of respect” for the prime minister, who “ran a really great campaign.”
“Yeah, something could happen,” Trump said.
“Regardless of anything, we’re going to be friends with Canada,” he added.
