The theme of President Donald Trump’s address to the joint session of Congress will be “Renewal of the American Dream,” a White House official told ABC News.
The White House official said the president will focus on four parts: the president’s record thus far, the economy, border security and the president’s plans for “peace around the globe.”

The president will push Congress to pass more border security funding for deportations and the border wall, the official said.
On foreign policy, the president is expected to touch on his efforts to help broker a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia. He is also expected to focus on his administration’s efforts to bring home hostages amid the Israel-Hamas conflict.
A statement from the White House said, “President Trump has accomplished more in one month than any president in four years – and the renewal of the American Dream is well underway. In his Joint Address to Congress, President Trump will celebrate his extraordinarily successful first month in office while outlining his bold, ambitious, and common sense vision for the future. President Trump’s Joint Address will be MUST-SEE TV.”
