Trump to tout accomplishments since taking office in primetime address
President Donald Trump will highlight his administration's accomplishments over his first year back in office in his address from the White House on Wednesday night.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt gave a preview of his speech during a Tuesday press briefing, telling reporters that Trump will seek to highlight his wins over the past 11 months.
"As you all saw on Truth Social, President Trump is going to be giving an address to the nation tomorrow night, live from the White House here at 9:00 Eastern. I know you guys will all be tuning in," Leavitt said.
"I was just in the Oval Office with the president discussing it. He's going to talk a lot about the accomplishments over the past 11 months, all that he's done to bring our country back to greatness and all he continues to plan to do, to continue delivering for the American people over the next three years," she continued.

Leavitt later added in an appearance on Fox News' "American Reports" that Trump may also "tease some policy that will be coming in the new year, as well."
Trump first announced the speech publicly on his Truth Social account, telling his followers that "the best is yet to come!"
"My Fellow Americans: I will be giving an ADDRESS TO THE NATION tomorrow night, LIVE FROM THE WHITE HOUSE, at 9 P.M. EST. I look forward to 'seeing' you then. It has been a great year for our Country, and THE BEST IS YET TO COME!" Trump wrote.
