national address
Leader's public broadcast
A national address is a formal speech by a head of state or government broadcast to the entire country, typically reserved for moments of crisis, major policy announcements, or ceremonial occasions: The president will deliver a national address tonight at 9 PM.
The format signals importance—when leaders address the nation directly, they're asking for collective attention.
