US President Donald Trump will address the nation this afternoon at 2 p.m. ET from the White House in what marks his first public remarks in a week. The announcement is expected to focus on the Department of Defense.
The scheduled speech has already drawn significant attention, particularly after the event was delayed by over 30 minutes, sparking widespread reactions on social media. Many users shared memes and speculated about the reasons behind the holdup, while anticipation continues to build over the content of his statement.
Trump’s address is expected to provide clarity on defence priorities, especially regarding Space Command, which plays a crucial role in the U.S. military’s space operations. The move of its headquarters has been a subject of political debate and is likely to attract both domestic and international interest.
