US President Donald Trump said the country will release about 80,000 pages of records related to the assassination of US President John F. Kennedy on March 18.
"People have been waiting for this for decades. It's going to be exciting," Mr. Trump told reporters during a visit to the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington on March 17.

According to Reuters, this is the first time Mr. Trump has visited this famous art institute since taking office in January. Here, Mr. Trump also discussed plans to "improve" the Kennedy Center and its upcoming art program.
In February, Trump signed an executive order requiring the release of all records on the 1963 assassination of President Kennedy. He also pledged to declassify records on the assassinations of civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr. and Senator Robert Kennedy, brother of John F. Kennedy. Both were assassinated in 1968, when Robert Kennedy was running for president.
Mr. Kennedy was shot on November 22, 1963 in Dallas, Texas. The only identified perpetrator was Lee Harvey Oswald.
The assassination of President Kennedy has sparked numerous conspiracy theories. Six decades later, the mysteries surrounding it continue to fascinate. So while the declassified files may shed more light on the case, historians say they are unlikely to help solidify conspiracy theories surrounding the assassination.

The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) announced in early February that it had found about 2,400 new documents related to the assassination of Mr. Kennedy. Previously, these documents were not included in the files related to Mr. Kennedy's assassination in 1963.
According to The New York Times , a 1992 law requires the US government to release documents related to the Kennedy assassination within 25 years, except for documents that could harm national security. The US National Archives and Records Administration said the government has released 99% of the approximately 320,000 documents it has reviewed since 1992, but thousands of documents are still withheld in whole or in part.
