Live broadcast at 4: Trump talks about the State of the Nation
U.S. President Donald Trump will deliver his first State of the Nation address of his new term.
U.S. President Donald Trump is set to deliver his first State of the Nation address of his new term in a live broadcast from Congress on Wednesday morning at 4 AM Finnish time. The speech is anticipated to last up to two hours, where Trump will traditionally cover key issues such as the economy, foreign policy, and legislative priorities as required by the U.S. Constitution. This annual address serves as a significant update for Congress regarding the nation's status and the administration's goals.
The speech is also noteworthy as it represents the first opportunity for Trump to outline his vision and agenda following his re-election. Traditionally held at the beginning of the president’s first year, the State of the Nation address is often a moment of political significance, with Trump expected to address not only achievements from his previous term but also new initiatives. As a reflection of the current political climate, some Democratic representatives have already announced their intention to boycott the address, indicating a potentially tense atmosphere during the speech.
Ilta-Sanomat will provide a live stream of Trump's address and will follow up with analysis. The contrast between Trump’s leadership style and the responses from his political opponents may further animate the discussion surrounding the address, making it a pivotal event for understanding the legislative dynamics in the U.S.
