The former president will be delivering a speech on crime, on the second day of the two-day America First Agenda Summit.
Trump’s return to Washington is occurring in the midst of the January 6 Committee hearings, which are investigating the 2021 attack on the Capitol and the role that Trump played in it.
The latest hearing showed key aides of the former president testifying that, for more than three hours, Trump took no action to stop the riot and simply watched the violence unfold on live television.
He is teasing a potential presidential run for 2024.
How to Watch Trump Speak at America First Agenda Summit
Trump will be speaking on Tuesday, July 26, at the Marriott Marquis, where he will be giving the keynote speech at the summit.
He is set to speak on Tuesday afternoon, at 3 p.m. You can watch it live on YouTube here.
It’s possible Trump could give some more clues in the speech about his intentions for 2024.
Mark Lotter, the communications officer of the America First Policy Institute, told CNN that Trump is “still the leader of the America First movement”.
“He is the biggest name. He’s the visionary behind many of the policies that got him elected to the White House,” Lotter said. “And when you look at what’s going on in America right now, so many people are clamoring for that kind of policy leadership back. They want cheap gas, growing paychecks, soaring stock markets and not what we have right now.”
The former commander-in-chief’s speech is expected to be on crime and what he would do about it.
On this subject, Lotter added that: “to give voice to that agenda, to lay it out for the congressional midterms and beyond, I think there is nobody better than the former president to be able to do that.”
