Trump's speech to Congress

Six weeks into his presidency, Donald Trump is addressing Congress and the nation Tuesday evening, laying out his goals for the next four years.

ABC News, along with PolitiFact, is live fact-checking Trump's speech statements that are exaggerated, need more context or are false.

The president teased on Monday it would be a "big night" and House Speaker Mike Johnson told Fox News over the weekend to expect "fireworks."

This story is being updated throughout Trump's speech.

TRUMP CLAIM: Joe Biden especially let the price of eggs get out of control-and we are working hard to get it back down.

FACT-CHECK:Lacking context.

Though egg prices did increase under President Joe Biden, they have recently surged under Trump too - and that's because of bird flu, which has led to the deaths of 136 million birds since 2022, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation.

While the price of eggs was consistently rising due to inflation under Biden's administration, the first significant price hike occurred in 2022, when bird flu began infecting flocks of birds in the U.S. Egg prices rose from $1.93 per dozen to $4.82 per dozen over the course of just that one year, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
