Donald Trump reportedly planning to announce 2024 presidential run soon
Former US president Donald Trump is reportedly planning an imminent announcement that he'll run for the White House again in 2024.
The United States has a two-term limit for presidents, but Mr Trump only served one before losing to Joe Biden last year. And in the wake of his attempts to overturn that election result, culminating in the Capitol riot on January 6, he survived an impeachment trial that could have ended in him being barred from public office.
So there's nothing stopping him from running again. Indeed Mr Trump has been hinting at his intention to do so for months now.
During an interview with Newsmax in mid-August, for example, the former president was asked directly about 2024.
"Look, I love this country. I hate what's happening to it. I hate it," Mr Trump said.
"We're not going to have a country anymore if it keeps going like this. We're a laughing stock all over the world, and I think a lot of people are going to be very happy."
He'd used that phrasing several times before.
"I think people are going to be very, very happy when I make a certain announcement," he told conservative commentator Candace Owens in May, adding that he looked forward to "doing an announcement at the right time".
In the wake of the Biden administration's botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, Mr Trump appears to think "the right time" is imminent.
