(MNI) London – All timings are subject to change.

Monday 22 December:

• United States: President Donald Trump is due to make an announcement at 16:30ET/21:30GMT/22:30CET from his Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, FL, alongside Secretary of War/Defense Pete Hegseth and Secretary of the Navy John Phelan. The announcement is expected to relate to the continued heightened state of tensions between the US and Venezuela, coming after the US intercepted a second sanctioned Venezuelan oil tanker in international waters in as many weeks. The Trump administration says the action is required to combat drug trafficking from Venezuela to the US, but critics have warned about the escalating action that they fear will result in US boots on the ground in Venezuela.
