Tonight, U.S. President Donald Trump 1 makes his first address to a joint 2 session of Congress. You can watch the Republican leaders speech and the Democratic response starting at 9:00 p.m. Eastern on CNN.


When we bring you some highlights tomorrow, we'll explain why a president's first speech like this is not technically 3 a State of the Union address.


One thing President Trump is expected to do is outline his goals for the coming years. And on Monday, he released some information about his first budget proposal, which is expected next month.


The Trump administration plans to increase U.S. defense 4 and security spending by $54 billion and decrease about the same amount from non-defense programs.


DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: This budget will be a public safety and national security budget. This defense spending increase will be offset 5 and paid for by finding greater savings 6 and efficiencies across the federal government. We're going to do more with less.


AZUZ: The president added that, quote, "lower priority programs and most federal agencies would see their budgets reduced in the proposal."


Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer says President Trump's budget proposal would, quote, "help the wealthy and special interest and that it would significantly cut programs that help the middle class." A president's budget proposal is a blue print. It reflects his priorities but it's Congress that determines the final budget for the federal government.
