President Trump will address the nation Wednesday night from the White House, but it does not appear he is planning to make a major policy announcement.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News Trump would be “addressing the country about all of his historic accomplishments over the past year, and maybe teasing some policy that will be coming in the new year, as well.”

Leavitt specifically cited border security and lower gas prices as two likely focuses of Trump’s address.
