President Trump Makes Pentagon Announcement at 2pm

President Donald Trump is set to make an "exciting" announcement related to the Department of Defense, as confirmed by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. The announcement, scheduled for 2 p.m. local time, has sparked speculation that Trump may address renaming the Department of Defense to the Department of War, a move he previously expressed interest in and which the White House is reportedly considering bypassing Congress to enact. This announcement marks Trump's first public appearance in several days amid widespread rumors about his health, which he has publicly denied. The secrecy surrounding the briefing has led to anticipation about potential shifts in military spending, troop deployments, or foreign policy strategy. Vice President J.D. Vance also confirmed the president's good health, countering conspiracy theories that trended online during Trump's absence from public events. No further details about the announcement were disclosed ahead of the event.
