The US Capitol in Washington DC will be packed with the country’s top lawmakers, Supreme Court justices, and military leaders to hear the president’s message.

The event, which is a requirement of the US Constitution, is a keynote speech in which the US president sets out their agenda for the next year, highlights their accomplishments to the American people, and shapes a political message.

Trump will address a joint session of Congress in a speech that will likely outline what he feels are the accomplishments of his first year in office and his policy agenda moving forward.
