On social media site Truth Social, Trump attributed his decision to the “tremendous interest” in the issue.
“I am directing the Secretary of Defense and appropriate departments and agencies to begin the process of identifying and releasing government documents related to extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena and unidentified flying objects, and any other information related to these highly complex but extremely interesting and important issues,” Trump wrote.
Shortly before that, Trump, while talking to journalists, accused Barack Obama of divulging classified information after the former US president’s recent statement about the possible existence of aliens.
In his opinion, Obama “shouldn’t have done that” and “made a big mistake.” What secret information Obama disclosed, Trump did not explain.
