President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth are set to make an announcement from the Oval Office Tuesday afternoon.
Defense Department officials told The Hill and NewsNation that the comments will focus on national security.
The remarks come after Trump's trip to the Middle East last week, when he visited Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, to tout significant investments.
Multiple outlets have reported the announcement is centered on the president's proposal for a Golden Dome missile defense system. It also comes after Trump said he will accept a luxury jet from Qatar's royal family, which sparked controversy on both sides of the aisle.
The event is scheduled to begin at 3 p.m. EDT.
