White House announces a live national address where the President will review his administration’s accomplishments and outline future plans.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump will deliver a live, prime-time address to the nation from the White House on Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET, the White House confirmed Tuesday. The speech is expected to focus on the administration’s first-year achievements and preview key policy directions for the coming year.

The announcement was made by the President himself on his social media platform, where he struck an optimistic tone. "It has been a great year for our Country, and THE BEST IS YET TO COME!" Trump posted, adding, "I look forward to seeing you then."

Speech to Highlight "Historic Accomplishments"

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt previewed the content of the upcoming national address during a gaggle with reporters on Tuesday. She indicated the President would use the platform to detail what the administration views as its historic successes over the past eleven months and to signal its agenda moving forward.

“It's going to be a really good speech. I was just in the Oval Office with the president discussing it,” Leavitt said. “He's going to talk a lot about the accomplishments over the past 11 months, all that he's done to bring our country back to greatness, and all he continues to plan to do to continue delivering for the American people over the next three years.”

Border Security and Economy Among Key Topics

In a subsequent interview with Fox News, Leavitt provided further insight into the expected themes of the President's remarks. She identified core issues like border security and the state of the U.S. economy as likely focal points for the Wednesday night speech.

"President Trump will be talking about what's to come. The best is truly yet to come, as he often says,” Leavitt stated. She also hinted that the address may include forward-looking policy announcements, suggesting the President could be "teasing some policy that will be coming" within the next year.

The prime-time televised speech represents a direct communication channel from the President to the American public, a format often used by administrations to mark significant moments, outline a vision, or rally support for key initiatives. Viewers can expect a review of the administration’s first-year milestones and a strategic outline of its priorities for the year ahead.
