(MENAFN) Donald Trump said he will allow the opening of the files on the murder of previous president John F Kennedy who was shot dead in 1963 in Texas.
The files are intended to be opened on October 26 by the US National Archives.
Trump tweeted: "Subject to the receipt of further information, I will be allowing, as President, the long blocked and classified JFK FILES to be opened."
In 1992, congress ruled that all files of JFK should be released within 25 years, if the president didn't consider the release harmful to national security.
Director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics said: "The American public deserves to know the facts, or at least they deserve to know what the government has kept hidden from them for all these years."
