President Trump will address the nation in about one hour: President Trump prepared to address the nation from the Oval Office on Wednesday night, laying out his emergency strategy for stabilizing the economy and slowing the spread of the coronavirus outbreak rattling the country. The stakes for the speech became apparent hours before it was delivered as the Dow Jones plummeted 1,400 points, Congress closed its doors to public tours of the Capitol, and the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic. Even the guilty pleasures of American life were impacted when the NCAA announced its March Madness championship basketball tournament would be played in arenas without live audiences. Official Washington expected the president to lay out an emergency strategy to provide economic aid to industries and small businesses hurt by the slowdown while advancing containment, diagnosis and treatment of the outbreak. Trump faced a dual challenge in calming America's jitters while demonstrating he was moving aggressively to contain and treat the outbreak. He set the stage on Twitter hours before the 9 p.m. EDT speech. "I am fully prepared to use the full power of the Federal Government to deal with our current challenge of the CoronaVirus!" he tweeted. justthenews.com
