President Donald Trump delivers the commencement address at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy on Wednesday for the Class of 2026, with outlets providing live coverage of the speech. PBS NewsHour and The Hill both report that Trump is scheduled to speak Wednesday morning, framing the remarks as part of the Academy’s commencement program. Breitbart also reports that Trump delivers the address to the graduating class of the Coast Guard Academy, identifying the event as occurring on May 20.
The Hill additionally places the speech in the context of broader administration attention on U.S. military operations and regional actions, mentioning scrutiny over operations in Iran and moves in the Caribbean and Latin America, including strikes against alleged drug boats and the capture of former Venezuelan leader Alex Saab. However, all sources agree on the core facts that Trump delivers the commencement speech at the Academy and addresses the Class of 2026 on Wednesday.
