President Donald Trump is set to address the 2018 graduates of the United States Naval Academy.

Trump will give the commencement speech in Annapolis today, a day after highlighting American military preparedness as he cancelled a planned summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

Trump will speak to 1,042 newly-commissioned ensigns and second lieutenants. He is expected to highlight his efforts to boost federal defense spending.

On Twitter today, Trump said he looks "forward to being with some of the greatest people on earth!" It will be Trump's first-time speaking to the academy's graduating class. Last year, Trump addressed the Coast Guard Academy.
