Trump is delivering a joint address to Congress tonight. Here's what to know about the president's speech.

• Trump is delivering an address to a joint session of Congress tonight.

• He's likely to address tariffs, DOGE, taxes, and more.

• It's not officially a State of the Union speech, but it's very similar.

President Donald Trump is set to address Congress for the first time in more than five years on Tuesday night at 9 p.m.

Trump will have much to talk about, including the 25% tariffs on Mexican and Canadian goods that began on Tuesday. Elon Musk, the de facto head of the White House DOGE office, will also be there. So will former federal workers who Musk has helped fire, invited as guests by Democratic lawmakers.

It's a State of the Union address in all but name — technically, in the president's first year, it's just a joint address to Congress.

The last time Trump was in the House chamber was during the final year of his first time, when he delivered his final State of the Union address on the eve of the Senate acquitting him in his first impeachment trial.

Then came the COVID-19 pandemic, the January 6 insurrection, the Biden administration, and Trump's improbable political comeback.

Trump's speech could last up to two hours, according to White House press guidance. He's likely to address trade, the state of the economy, artificial intelligence, the war in Ukraine, and DOGE.

As is often the case with Trump, it's possible the president goes off-script.

This story will be updated with new details from Trump's address when it begins.
