US President Donald Trump is teasing a major announcement, tweeting Saturday night that “Something very big has just happened!”
A White House spokesman, Hogan Gidley, would say only that the president would be making a “major statement” at 9 am EDT (6:30 pm IST) Sunday.
Something very big has just happened!

The president’s tweet moved after 8 pm and left his Twitter followers – his page says more than 66 million – to speculate about what that announcement might entail.
