US President Donald Trump will deliver a primetime address to the nation at 9 p.m. ET on Thursday (1:00 a.m. GMT Friday; 6:30 a.m. IST Friday). Where to watch Trump's address Trump is expected to speak from the White House, with the address set to be streamed live on the White House website and YouTube channel. It is also likely to be carried by major US television networks. White House keeps agenda under wraps While the White House has not disclosed the full agenda, Trump has indicated the speech will focus on US elections and what he has described as "really big news." Trump teases 'really big news' "It's really, really big news, and our country has to shape up," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. "Without free and fair elections, you don't have a country." Trump also said the address would cover "a couple of other things," with the escalating US-Iran conflict expected to be among the topics discussed. "We'll be discussing other things, too, but it will be a very big announcement," he said. The speech comes amid growing speculation over Trump's plans regarding election integrity, as well as rising tensions in the Middle East following intensified US military operations against Iran.
What is Trump expected to say? Election integrity expected to take center stage The primary focus of Trump's address is expected to be US elections and voting systems. According to a Trump administration official cited by Reuters, the President plans to discuss newly declassified intelligence related to investigations into the 2020 election and what the White House describes as vulnerabilities in voting machines that could allow foreign cyber intrusions. Trump has repeatedly hinted that elections will be the centerpiece of his remarks. "It will concern that subject," Trump said when asked whether he would discuss voting machine integrity. He later added: "What we're going to be talking about Thursday is—it doesn't get bigger because without free and fair elections, you don't have a country." Could Trump revisit the 2020 election? The speech is widely expected to revisit Trump's longstanding claims about the 2020 presidential election. Trump has repeatedly argued that the election was affected by widespread fraud and voting irregularities. However, numerous court rulings, ballot audits and investigations by federal and state authorities found no evidence that fraud changed the outcome of the election. Election officials and cybersecurity agencies also said they found no evidence that foreign cyber intrusions altered vote counts.
