Lara Trump says Donald Trump has a prepared speech about alien life

The discussion about extraterrestrial life in the United States resurfaced this week after Lara Trump, daughter-in-law of President Donald Trump, stated that the head of the executive branch has a speech prepared to officially announce the discovery of alien life — and is simply waiting for the “right moment” to deliver it.

In an interview on the podcast Pod Force One, the commentator and former government adviser said that she and her husband, Eric Trump, asked the president directly about the issue, but he was reportedly reserved in his response. According to Lara Trump, she “had heard that there is a speech he has and that, when the right time comes — I don’t know when — he is expected to talk about it, and it has to do with some kind of extraterrestrial life.”

The statement sparked intense buzz on social media and in the international press, especially as it followed a controversial remark by former President Barack Obama, who said in a recent podcast that extraterrestrial beings are “real, but I haven’t seen them,” and that there is no evidence they were kept in secret facilities — such as the legendary Area 51 — during his administration.

Obama later sought to clarify his comments, saying his response was made in the “spirit” of a rapid-fire question segment and that his statement was based solely on the statistical probability of life in the universe, not on privileged information or concrete evidence of contact with alien civilizations.

Despite the backlash, a White House spokesperson said that Lara Trump’s claim about a prepared speech “would be news to us” and added that they would need to verify the information with the team responsible for drafting official presidential remarks.

The conversation is unfolding within a broader context in which public curiosity about UFOs and unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) has gained traction in the political debate, with hearings in the U.S. Congress and investigations by federal agencies into sightings of unexplained objects. Analysts note that, although there is no official confirmation of extraterrestrial life, the topic is experiencing a moment of increased legitimacy in American public discourse — especially after years dominated by conspiracy theories and cultural speculation.
