In most cases i wait for that News and try to trade it against that.
And sometimes i do not trade. But you have to be prepared for higher volatility, so i keep my positions smaller than normal.

I do not trade it, because its too big volatility for me
On another hand i prefer time to time trade it day after.

I also think it’s best to avoid trading news in general
