President Donald Trump announced on Monday that he will deliver a nationwide address on Thursday evening at 9 p.m. Eastern time. The announcement came via his social media platform, Truth Social, in a post written in the third person that did not indicate he had authored or posted it himself.

According to a senior adviser, the speech will be a "potpourri" of topics, including an update on Iran and election integrity. "It will be a potpourri," the adviser said. The specifics beyond the time and place are less certain. The adviser also mentioned that Trump wants to do more prime-time speeches from the White House. "We want to get into the rhythm of doing this," the adviser said. "It's powerful when you give prime-time speeches that give a sense of importance to what he's saying."

Trump's adviser denied online reports that the president plans to discuss the 2020 Senate elections in Georgia, which were won by two Democrats.

The announcement comes amid escalating tensions with Iran. Earlier on Monday, Trump declared that he would reimpose a US naval blockade on Iran and impose a 20% fee on ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz. He also said that the US will be the "guardians of the Strait of Hormuz." The White House did not immediately respond to requests for details about the speech.

Trump's last major televised address to the nation was on April 1, when he gave his first full public justification of the Iran war more than a month after the US-Israeli military campaign began. In that speech, he laid out his case for a conflict that had sent oil prices soaring and his approval ratings tumbling.

The president has not given many prime-time, direct-to-camera speeches from the White House. He wants to pass the SAVE America Act, a strict voter ID law that's stalled in Congress. He may also present findings from his intelligence officials about the administration's review of the 2020 election, which Trump has not admitted he lost. Additionally, he plans to assert voting machine vulnerabilities in his speech.

In his second term, Trump has delivered two Oval Office addresses: one on law and order and another after the assassination of GOP activist Charlie Kirk. He has also delivered two other prime-time speeches: one touting his administration's progress on the economy last December, and another in April updating the country on the progress of the war he started against Iran. During his first term, he delivered three formal addresses from the Oval Office, including one on the Covid-19 pandemic where he was caught on a hot mic cursing about an ink stain on his shirt.

The White House has not responded to requests for more details about the speech.

Trump cuts nearly 3M acres from 2 Utah national monuments President Trump is decimating both Grand Staircase-Escalante and Bears Ears national monuments.Why it matters: Mondays orders reduce protections on nearly 3 million acres in southern Utah, affecting more than 90 of each monuments area.Driving the news: Grand Staircase-Escalante will lose nearly 1.7 of its 1.87 million acresBears Ears 1.36 million acres will be reduced to about 121,000.The big picture: The cuts are far more drastic than in 2017, when Trump eliminated almost half of Grand Staircase-Escalante and 85 of Bears Ears in what was then the largest reduction of federal land protections in U.S. history.The Biden administration restored the previous boundaries in 2021 and added 12,000 acres to Bears Ears.Between the lines: Mondays cuts have been expected since last year, when Trump ordered his administration to find public lands to expand drilling and mining in the West.Reality check: The practicality of extraction at the monuments has been debated for years.Although parcels were nominated for drilling leases before Biden restored the original Bears Ears boundaries, Utah officials have said there is "very little energy potential" at the monument.Uranium mining is more realistic. Trump originally shrank Bears Ears after industry pressure, and conservation groups say one uranium mine was reopened within the monument.A large coal deposit exists within the original boundaries of Grand Staircase-Escalante. But mining there wasnt considered profitable enough for companies to dig after Trump opened the land during his first term.Caveat: Not all of the lands removed from the monuments are totally unprotected.Some sites remain within federal Wilderness Study Areas and Areas of Environmental Concern — designations that shield them from development, at least for now.Yes, but: Trumps Interior Department last month announced a review of policies around WSAs, which conservation groups say could weaken the protections they offer.How it works: National monuments are created by presidential proclamation under the Antiquities Act to protect places of historic, prehistoric or scientific interest.By contrast, national parks are created by Congress.Catch up quick: Former President Obama established Bears Ears in 2016 to be managed in cooperation with Indigenous tribes near the Four Corners.The Clinton administration created the largest-ever U.S. national monument when he announced Grand Staircase-Escalante in 1996.Whats inside: The monuments include ancient ruins, fossils, rock art and many beloved recreation destinations.State of play: Both have enraged Utah Republicans, who have long argued for smaller boundaries and less restrictive protections to allow potential expansion of drilling, mining, off-roading and grazing.Whats next: The monuments shifting boundaries have left unresolved legal questions as to whether a president can unilaterally withdraw a predecessors protections.The latest cuts will likely revive arguments from a 2017 lawsuit that claims Trump had no authority to rescind a monument.A similar dispute is at play in a lawsuit Utah officials filed in 2022 to stop Bidens restoration of the monuments. A federal judge threw it out in 2023, but an appeals court revived last month. Its unclear how that case will proceed now that Trump has effectively provided the outcome the lawsuit sought.
