According to excerpts of his speech, he is expected to talk about the NAFTA-replacement U.S.–Mexico-Canada Agreement, the trade deal with China, tax cuts, and highlight more factories being built in the United States.
“I think that this has gone on for too long and I think that, if you look at the ratings, the American people are frankly bored of it,” White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham told Fox News early Tuesday. “They want to hear what the president has done for this country and what he is planning to do for this country, so it will be very forward-facing.”
