#TrumpCongressSpeech

Washington — President Trump addressed a joint session of Congress Tuesday night, marking the first time he spoke before both chambers since he returned to office six weeks ago. 

Presidents typically address a joint session of Congress early in their tenure to outline a vision or agenda. The first speech before lawmakers is not technically a State of the Union, but rather an Address to a Joint Session of Congress.

As is customary, House Speaker Mike Johnson in January invited Mr. Trump to address Congress and "share his America First vision for our future."
