WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is scheduled to make an announcement Tuesday at 2 p.m. Eastern from the Oval Office, according to the White House.

While the event was listed on the president's daily schedule as simply "an announcement," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told CNN and Fox News on Tuesday that the announcement will be related to the Department of Defense.
