President Donald Trump is set to address a joint session of Congress on Tuesday night for the first time in his second term and is expected to deliver a speech to outline his plans for the nation under the theme of “The Renewal of the American Dream.”
The president is scheduled to speak before all members of Congress on Tuesday at 9 p.m. EST.
The speech is not officially called the “State of the Union” because Trump has not been in office for a full year, though it operates in a similar fashion. The yearly presidential address is intended to showcase the administration’s achievements and policies.
The president has been working at a breakneck pace to align the federal government with his “Make America Great Again” policies. The president took more than 200 executive actions on his first day in office on Jan. 20 and has not slowed the pace since.
White House officials exclusively told Fox News Digital that the speech, themed “The Renewal of the American Dream,” will feature four main sections: accomplishments from Trump’s second term thus far at home and abroad; what the Trump administration has done for the economy; the president’s renewed push for Congress to pass additional funding for border security; and the president’s plans for peace around the globe.
Trump’s joint address “will be must-see TV,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News Digital.
“President Trump has accomplished more in one month than any president in four years, and the renewal of the American Dream is well underway,” Leavitt said. “In his joint address to Congress, President Trump will celebrate his extraordinarily successful first month in office while outlining his bold, ambitious and commonsense vision for the future.”
