Presidents generally deliver high-profile speeches to Congress shortly after their inauguration, and the distinction may make little difference.

President Donald Trump may walk into the Capitol like it’s a State of the Union. He may talk like it’s a State of the Union. But technically, the big speech he gives on Tuesday before a joint session of Congress is not a State of the Union address.

President Donald Trump will stand at the front of the U.S. House chamber to address a joint session of Congress, the first of his second term in office.
