The information presented is based on official statements and widely reported news, suggesting a balanced perspective.

The President of the United States stated that he has decided to make public almost all documents related to the assassination of John F. Kennedy, except for certain details such as the names or addresses of individuals who are still alive. Donald Trump, on November 6, mentioned in posts on Twitter that after 'careful consultation' with his security advisory team and other agencies, he has decided to allow the release of nearly all documents related to the 1963 assassination. Mr. Trump claims that this move is intended to 'put an end to all conspiracy theories.' The U.S. President emphasized that some details, such as 'names... and addresses of any individuals who are still alive,' will not be made public. Donald Trump consulted with the Central Intelligence Agency, the White House Chief of Staff, and several other agencies for the final decision. A few days ago, the President allowed the release of nearly three thousand documents related to the Kennedy assassination, following a deadline that had expired 25 years ago. However, the delay in releasing some documents was due to concerns from the FBI and CIA, as Trump stated that there was 'no other choice' but to keep them secret, contrary to public expectations. The White House then announced that the President has asked agencies to provide their assessments of the documents within a six-month timeframe. It is still unclear whether the relevant agencies have begun evaluating these documents or when the subsequent documents will be made available to the public. Many researchers do not expect to find any new significant details in these documents regarding the reasons and circumstances of Kennedy's assassination by Lee Harvey Oswald, which occurred on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas. Some documents are expected to specifically relate to CIA and FBI efforts regarding the type of contact Oswald had with Cuban and Soviet spies during his trip to Mexico in September 1963. Nearly 2900 documents related to the assassination of John F. Kennedy were declassified last Thursday and made available to the public.
