WATCH LIVE: Will Trump’s Prime-Time Address Introduce a Landmark Ukraine Minerals Agreement?​

As Trump steps up to the podium for his first address to a joint session of Congress, Washington is on edge. Will he seize the opportunity for a dramatic reveal—one that could reshape the war in Ukraine and cement his image as the ultimate dealmaker?

The biggest question of the night: Does Trump have a breakthrough with Zelenskyy to announce? After days of high-stakes diplomacy, sources suggest a rare earth minerals deal with President Zelenskyy could be on the table. A Ukrainian statement last Friday—laden with regret over how things unfolded at the White House—was widely seen as an attempt to salvage relations. If Trump signs off on the deal before 9 p.m., expect the moment to be what Trump loves to call “great television.”

But there’s more to watch beyond Ukraine. Trump’s trade war with Canada and Mexico is simmering, with tariffs becoming a fresh news in North American diplomacy. The Democrats, predictably, will be bracing for impact—especially as Trump relishes his first major set piece in Congress since returning to the White House.

The Pavlovic Today will be watching closely from the press gallery, where reactions will be scrutinized as much as the speech itself. The guest list alone sets the stage for an emotional rollercoaster.

Melania Trump has invited the family of fallen firefighter Corey Comperatore, recently released American hostage Marc Fogel, and the relatives of Laken Riley. Speaker Johnson will host border czar Tom Homan and Noa Argamani, who endured 246 days in Hamas captivity.

And then, of course, there’s Elon Musk. The tech mogul, now a fixture in Trump’s orbit, is set to attend—a reminder that this presidency is as much about spectacle as it is about substance.

What Trump delivers tonight could be historic. Or it could be yet another exercise in brinkmanship. Either way, expect a show.
