President Donald Trump has announced that he will deliver a nationally televised address from the White House on Wednesday evening at nine p.m. Eastern Standard Time, a move that underscores the administration’s desire to outline its record and future ambitions as the 2025 calendar year draws to a close.
Trump took to social media to share the news, teasing supporters with the declaration that “THE BEST IS YET TO COME!” as he prepares to reflect on the past year’s accomplishments and set the stage for the work ahead.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters that the address will review what the president described as a “great year for our country,” emphasising policies and initiatives aimed at economic growth, national security and Americans’ prosperity.
She added that Trump plans to discuss what he has achieved over the last eleven months and outline continuing plans for delivering on his promises over the coming years, including priorities for his administration’s agenda.
While the White House has not released a detailed preview of the speech’s full content, the timing and language used in Trump’s announcement suggest a focus on framing the administration’s record in a positive light and boosting momentum heading into 2026. The address comes amid a broader national conversation about the economy and foreign policy, with the president seeking to reinforce confidence in the direction of his leadership and rally public support.
Observers note that national addresses from the White House are traditionally reserved for moments of significant policy articulation or national reflection, adding weight to the event.
