President Donald Trump will address Congress and deliver his first major speech of his second term on Tuesday, March 4 at 9/8c on various channels.
The speech will detail Trump’s plans, visions and goals for the future of the nation, and comes just days after the highly publicized meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy held in the Oval Office.
According to a White House official, the theme of President Trump’s speech will focus on the “Renewal of the American Dream.”
Viewers tuning in can expect to hear Trump detail what he and his administration has done so far since his return to the White House six weeks prior, and details of hot-button issues such as border security, foreign policy and the current state of the economy.
