Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said Tuesday that
he’s invited President Trump to speak before a joint session
of Congress on Feb. 28, 2017.
Ryan announced the invitation during a press conference in the Capitol and on Twitter.
Trump's remarks will technically not be a State of the Union address. It is traditional,
however, for incoming presidents to speak before Congress in their first months in office.
Trump’s five most recent predecessors each delivered speeches before joint sessions
of Congress shortly after their inaugurations, but none were officially considered
to be State of the Union addresses. Former President Obama’s speech before Congress
in 2009, for instance, was billed as an address on the nation’s economic recovery.
Trump hasn’t yet indicated if his speech will focus on a particular topic
