President Donald Trump will deliver a national address before Congress this week that is expected to touch on a number of key national security issues, including Pentagon reforms and the ongoing war in Ukraine.

The speech — which is not officially a State of the Union address, but has the same goals — is scheduled for 9 p.m. on Tuesday. It comes just a few days after Trump sparred with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a White House meeting, and amid increasing tensions between the two countries over military support for Ukraine’s defense against Russia.

White House officials have not revealed any speech previews yet, but Trump is expected to address that conflict and his broader efforts to increase U.S. military might through budget and personnel changes.

In the last few weeks, the White House has proposed cutting more than 5,000 civilian defense workers and reassigning at least $50 billion in budgetary plans to increase Defense Department efficiency and better focus on warfighting priorities.
