Donald Trump will give an “ADDRESS TO THE NATION” from the White House this evening, according to an enthusiastic social media post from the president.
Trump did not elaborate on the topic of the address, but claimed that the “BEST IS YET TO COME” in the post.
Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, told reporters that the prime-time broadcast will give an insight into the president’s plans for next year. It will also give him a chance to speak about his successes.
“The best is truly yet to come, as he often says, and so he’ll be addressing the country about all of his historic accomplishments over the past year and maybe teasing some policy that will be coming in the new year, as well as we head into this Christmas season,” she told reporters, according to NBC News.
The news comes after Trump called for a complete blockade of Venezuelan oil, in a massive escalation of tensions. Meanwhile, the military has continued its unprecedented build-up in the Caribbean, heightening fears of a U.S. strike on Venezuelan soil.

She is often referred to as the “Ice Maiden” for her role in ruthlessly driving Donald Trump’s campaign.

Trump orders ‘complete’ blockade of Venezuelan oil

Last week, U.S. troops seized a tanker with the president claiming on Truth Social that Venezuelan President Maduro is using oil to fund his alleged “drug terrorism, human trafficking, murder and kidnapping.”
“Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled in the History of South America,” Trump wrote. “It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the United States of America all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us.”
It is unknown what land or oil has been stolen by Venezuela.

That idea has formed the basis of Pete Hegseth’s strikes on the alleged drug boats, although the former Fox & Friends host has now been accused by critics of committing a war crime.
