Spicer: Trump’s speech to Congress will be about ‘the renewal of the American spirit’

White House press secretary Sean Spicer said Thursday the theme of President Trump’s speech to a joint session of Congress next week will be “the renewal of the American spirit.”

“He’s currently working closely with the speechwriting team on presenting his vision to Congress and the American people,” Spicer said.

Trump’s speech to a joint session — which will resemble a State of the Union address, but will not technically be one — is set for Tuesday night.

“The theme of the address will be ‘the renewal of the American spirit,'” Spicer said. “The address will particularly focus on public safety including defense, increased border security, taking care of our veterans and then economic opportunity including education, job training, healthcare reform, jobs and tax and regulatory reform.”
