Trump will deliver a speech to the nation on Iran this Wednesday
The president of the United States, Donald Trump, will address American citizens this Wednesday night in a televised address to the nation to discuss Iran, as announced by his spokesperson, Karoline Leavitt, in a message on social networks.
“Tomorrow (Wednesday) night at 9:00 p.m. Washington time, President Trump will address the nation with an important update on Iran,” the spokeswoman wrote. That time is 3:00 a.m. on Thursday, Spanish peninsular time, and 7:00 p.m. in Mexico.
Leavitt’s announcement, while Trump and his wife, Melania, were preparing to see the premiere of a new performance of the musical Chicago at the Kennedy Center for the Arts in the US capital, comes just two hours after the president had declared from the Oval Office that his country’s troops will withdraw “in two or three weeks” from the war against Iran. He also specified that that moment could come even sooner.
In those comments, Trump had assured that the end of the conflict will occur “very soon” and that this will help cut galloping oil prices. “All we have to do is leave Iran, and that is something we are going to do very soon, and then (oil prices) will collapse,” the president said. A little later, asked by journalists about a possible deadline for this march, he indicated that he had in mind “two or three weeks.”
The president, who began the day with a message on social networks in which he demanded that oil-consuming countries take charge of unblocking the Strait of Hormuz themselves to supply themselves with crude oil, has also pointed out that he does not consider it necessary for Iran to give its approval to an agreement to decide that the time has come to withdraw US soldiers.
