President Donald Trump is due to make a mystery announcement to the nation from the Oval Office at 2 p.m. According to the president’s schedule, the event will be open to the White House press pool. On Sunday a reporter asked Trump what the “big announcement” would be about, with the president hinting it could relate to a meeting he is holding on Tuesday with Dario Amodei, co-founder of AI company Anthropic.
Trump said: “We’re meeting with Anthropic as you know on Tuesday that’s going to be big. And we have a couple of unrelated things tonight. And tonight I’m having dinner with the head of Anthropic so these are long days but I seem to be able to handle it… No, I’m having dinner with Dario, as you know very highly respected, from Anthropic.” Newsweek contacted the White House press office for comment on Monday by email outside of regular office hours.
