President Trump has promised an “earth-shattering” announcement before his upcoming Middle East trip, leaving both officials and the public speculating about its contents. The announcement was described as “earth-shattering” and “as big as it gets.” Trump emphasized that it is unrelated to trade and will be “very positive” for the country. The revelation was made during a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.
Trump Promises Major Revelation Before Middle East Trip
President Donald Trump set Washington abuzz with anticipation during an Oval Office meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, revealing plans for what he described as a momentous announcement. The president emphasized the significance of his forthcoming statement, characterizing it as “very, very big” and “as big as it gets.” While keeping specific details under wraps, Trump indicated the announcement would come before his departure for a Middle Eastern diplomatic tour scheduled for May 13-16, which includes stops in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates.
During the meeting, Trump was explicit about the announcement’s gravity while remaining deliberately vague about its contents. “It’ll be one of the most important announcements that have been made in many years about a certain subject, a very important subject. So you’ll all be here,” Trump stated. He further clarified that while the announcement is not related to international trade negotiations, it represents what he termed an “earth-shattering and positive development” for the American people.

Canadian Prime Minister’s First Meeting with Trump
The revelation came during Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s inaugural visit to the White House since assuming office. The meeting between the two leaders covered various topics, including ongoing trade discussions and developments in Ukraine. When Trump made his cryptic reference to the upcoming announcement, Carney responded with apparent interest, quipping that he was “on the edge of my seat,” displaying a moment of diplomatic rapport between the leaders of the neighboring nations.
The timing of the announcement remains somewhat flexible, with Trump indicating it could come as early as Thursday or Friday, or possibly Monday before his departure. Sources close to the administration have acknowledged uncertainty about the content of the president’s planned declaration, suggesting the announcement may be known to only a limited circle of advisors. The White House has maintained strict confidentiality regarding additional details.

Yemen Conflict Development Emerges During Meeting
In addition to teasing his major announcement, President Trump revealed a significant policy shift regarding Yemen during the same meeting. He stated that the United States would cease bombing operations against Houthi forces in Yemen, explaining that “they don’t want to fight anymore.” This development represents a substantial change in America’s military posture in the region after months of strikes against Houthi positions following their attacks on international shipping lanes.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio reportedly endorsed this development, noting that the United States had achieved its objective of protecting global shipping routes through the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. The timing of this Yemen-related development, coinciding with Trump’s upcoming Middle East tour and promised major announcement, has led to speculation about potential connections between these diplomatic and military moves in the region.
