⚠️ Trump sets 8:00 PM as the key deadline: FOX News’ Bret Baier said he had just spoken with President Trump, who told him that “8pm is happening” and that if matters reach that point, “there is going to be an attack like they have not seen.” Baier said the president is still holding to that position at this hour.
⚠️ Potential change depends on concrete negotiation progress: Baier added that Trump would not put odds on whether the situation would end in a negotiated deal, but said that if negotiations move forward today and there is something concrete, that could change. Otherwise, Baier said Trump indicated that planning is continuing as scheduled.
“I just got off the phone with the President and he called.
I said, listen, if you were to put odds on it, what are the odds that this is going to end up being a negotiated deal?
He said he wasn't going to put odds on it, but he said 8:00 PM is happening.
That's what he said.
He said if we get to that point, there is going to be an attack like they have not seen.
Now, he's sticking to that at this point.
Now he said if negotiations move forward today and there is something concrete, that could change.
But at this hour, he didn't want to put odds on it, but he said it is moving forward with the plans that we have.
That's a huge deal, and obviously, we all think that it's a thing that he's putting out there to say don't do this.
He says he doesn't want to do it, but he is at this hour sticking to it and saying it might be likely.”
