President Donald Trump is scheduled to address a Joint Session of Congress on Tuesday, March 4, 2025, at 9 p.m. Eastern Time (4 a.m. on March 5, Sofia time). This will be his first major address to Congress since commencing his second term on January 20, 2025.

The speech will be broadcast live across major television networks and streaming platforms. In Bulgaria, viewers can access the address through international news channels such as CNN International and BBC World News, which typically cover significant U.S. political events. Additionally, online streaming services like YouTube may host live streams of the address; for example, PBS NewsHour often provides live coverage of such events.

While not officially termed a State of the Union address, this speech serves a similar purpose, allowing the President to outline his administration’s agenda and legislative priorities. According to reports, President Trump is expected to discuss new tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China, reflecting his administration’s aggressive trade policy. He may also address other pressing issues, including economic indicators and foreign policy initiatives.

Given the time difference, Bulgarian viewers may prefer to watch recorded highlights or read summaries of the address, which will be available on news websites and social media platforms following the event.
