President scheduled to speak before full Congress on Tuesday at 9 pm EST

 

Trump to deliver first address of his second term to joint session of Congress

President Donald Trump is to speak to a joint session of Congress for the first time in his second term on Tuesday evening and deliver a speech setting out his intentions for the country with the subject "The Renewal of the American Dream." 

The president is to speak to all the members of Congress on Tuesday evening at 9 p.m. EST.

THEME OF TRUMP'S CONGRESS ADDRESS REVEALED

The address is not formally referred to as the "State of the Union" since Trump has not completed one year in office, although it works similarly. The annual presidential speech is meant to highlight the achievements and policies of the administration.

The president has been laboring at a breakneck speed to bring the federal government into line with his "Make America Great Again" agenda. The president signed over 200 executive actions on his first day in office on Jan. 20 and has not let up since.

White House aides spoke with Fox News Digital exclusively and reported that the address, titled "The Renewal of the American Dream," will include four overarching sections: highlights from Trump's second term thus far domestically and internationally; the accomplishments of what the Trump administration has done on the economy; the president's new call on Congress to appropriate more money on border security; and the president's vision on peace across the world.

Trump's joint address "will be must-see TV," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said to Fox News Digital.

"President Trump has done more in one month than any president has done in four years, and the rebuilding of the American Dream is well under way," Leavitt stated. "In his address to Congress, President Trump will mark his wildly successful first month in office while laying out his bold, ambitious and commonsense vision for the future."

The president will look back on his administration's "achievements of his incredibly successful first month in office, both domestically and internationally," White House aides informed Fox News Digital.

Officials added the president will also outline what his administration has accomplished and continues to accomplish to "unspool the economic mess left behind by the Biden administration and bring inflation to an end for all Americans."

The president is supposed to point out the over $1.7 trillion in investments that have been made since he was sworn into office to restore manufacturing in the United States, including energy production increases, investments in the private sector on AI and beyond.

The president will also in the address urge Congress to approve additional border security funding to finance deportations and continued border wall construction on the U.S. southern border.

On foreign policy, the president will have to set out his plans "to restore peace around the world." A White House source informed Fox News Digital that he will present his plans to bring an end to the war in Ukraine. He will also highlight the effort of his administration to secure the release of all the hostages from Gaza.
