Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said Thursday that he is inviting President Trump to deliver his first State of the Union address on Jan. 30.
“Today, we are in the midst of a historic effort to provide relief to hardworking taxpayers, grow our economy, and rebuild our military for the 21st century,” Ryan wrote in a letter to Trump offering the formal invitation to address a joint session of Congress.
“Looking ahead, the new year will bring an opportunity to take account of the progress we have made but also lay out the work that still remains to be done on behalf of the American people,” Ryan wrote.
“In that spirit, it is my honor to invite you to deliver your State of the Union address before a joint session of Congress on Tuesday, January 30, 2018 in the House Chamber.”
