Jan. 24 (UPI) — House Speaker Paul Ryan invited President Donald Trump to address a joint session of Congress on Feb. 28, Ryan announced Tuesday.
Ryan, R-Wis., made the offer during a news conference in Washington.
The nationally televised address would be an opportunity for Trump to present his agenda as president.
It would also serve as a sort of State of the Union address for Trump. Incoming presidents typically do not present a State of the Union address, although former President Barack Obama addressed Congress in February 2009 to explain his proposals to deal with the national economy.
