[CALENDAR UPDATE] US President Trump pre-taped interview to be partially aired at 18:00 ET (23:00 BST) on WABC; with the rest to air on Sunday

US President Trump pre-taped interview to be partially aired at 18:00 ET (23:00 BST) on WABC; with the rest to air on Sunday.

Pre-taped presidential interviews on local broadcasters have become a recurring headline source, with excerpts typically released in advance and the newswire-relevant content, trade, tariffs, personnel, Fed commentary, often sitting in the portion held back rather than the first airing. The split schedule matters for sequencing: partial evening airing leaves the balance for Sunday, which historically has meant the market-sensitive lines, if any, land into thin weekend liquidity or gap the Monday open in futures, FX, and rates. Pre-taping also means the content predates any intervening news, a caveat wires usually flag when excerpts cross. Prior form is that single interviews of this kind move markets only when they contain fresh policy signal rather than repetition of established positions; the tell is whether advance excerpts touch tariffs, sanctions, or central bank commentary. Worth noting is the staggered release itself, since desk staffing is lighter over the weekend and any headline landing Sunday tends to be worked through Sunday evening futures rather than full cash markets.
