WASHINGTON D.C. ~ President Donald Trump will deliver his second State of the Union address of his term at 9 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 24, with analysts expecting him to focus on economic and military concerns.
The president will likely discuss his tariff policies, as he defies a Supreme Court decision made last week that struck down unilateral tariffs, along with his increasing military build-up in the Middle East amid growing tensions with Iran. The speech will likely be lengthy, and comes at a time as Trump’s approval ratings continue to dip downward amid a midterm-election year.
