President Donald Trump was set to address a joint session of Congress late Tuesday in what will become his first speech to both chambers since returning to office for his second term.
The address at the U.S. House chamber in Washington, D.C., is expected to touch on the economy, his administration's efforts to dramatically reduce the government and foreign policy issues, including steep tariffs imposed on China, Canada, and Mexico.
The speech comes amid escalating trade tensions and recent developments in the nation's relationship with Ukraine.
