Oct. 13 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump will address the Values Voter Summit in Washington, D.C., on Friday.

Trump is the first sitting president to visit the annual conference. He last spoke there in 2015 as a Republican candidate for president.

"Values voters have waited eight years for a leader who puts America's mission first and respects the values that made America into a great nation," Tony Perkins, the council's president, said in a Tuesday statement.

Former Trump strategists Sebastian Gorka and Steve Bannon, and former Rep. Michele Bachmann are among the other scheduled speakers.
