Today, President Donald Trump will appear before Congress to give an account of what has been accomplished in the first weeks since his return to the White House, the "Associated Press" reported, BTA reports.
He delivered a speech during a joint session of the Senate and the House of Representatives.
According to information from the White House, Trump will speak about "resurrecting the American dream" and will present his key achievements to date. The president will also outline his proposals for strengthening peace in Ukraine and the Middle East, as well as push for increased funding to combat immigration.
“This is an opportunity for President Trump (…) to showcase the record-breaking and unprecedented achievements of the past month,“ said Stephen Miller, a senior adviser to the president.
The Democratic opposition largely ignored calls to boycott the speech, but sought ways to counter it. Congressional Democrats have arranged for speeches by fired federal employees, including a disabled veteran from Arizona, a health care worker from Maryland and a forestry worker from California.
In addition, at the invitation of Democrats, citizens affected by federal budget cuts to Medicaid and other social initiatives will also speak before Congress.
