President Donald Trump’s much-anticipated announcement from the Oval Office at 2 p.m. ET appears to be delayed, with no live visuals yet streaming from the White House.
According to sources, the delay is linked to technical feed issues inside the White House, which has temporarily pushed back the start of the President’s remarks. The announcement, which the White House earlier confirmed will be related to the Department of Defense, has been surrounded by intense speculation, especially after Trump’s absence from public view since August 26 fueled health rumors.
It is worth noting that such high-profile White House announcements are typically subject to minor delays of a few minutes, owing to security protocols, feed checks, or last-minute adjustments.
As per the latest update, officials have indicated that the announcement will begin shortly once the feeds are stabilized. The event will be broadcast live on major networks including Fox 35 Orlando and the White House’s official YouTube channel.
