The annual “State of the Union” address will be delivered by Donald Trump on February 24 at the U.S. Congress, Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives Mike Johnson announced yesterday (Wednesday).

The annual speech, a tradition for U.S. presidents, will come at a key juncture for the Republican.

After a year in the White House, during which he attempted to fundamentally change the political landscape in the US and the world, Donald Trump faces a midterm election in which his party will try to maintain its – marginal – majority in both houses of Congress.

Before senators and congressmen, the 79-year-old billionaire is expected to lay out his vision for the 36 months remaining, with a particular focus expected to be on the economy against the backdrop of stubborn inflation.
