Washington sources reported that newly sworn-in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi last week invited President Trump to deliver the customary State of the Union (SOTU) address before a joint session of Congress on January 29. Meanwhile Trump told reporters at the White House "He will be making the State of the Union on January 29th and he looks forward to it. He look forward to speaking, really, before the world. We have a lot of great things to say".
Furthermore this would be Trump's first SOTU address wherein the Democrats would be in majority in the House of Representatives. He added "Our country is doing better than any country in the world, right now. Our military is almost completely rebuilt. When he took it over, it was a mess, and it was depleted. Our trade deals are going great.
"We have a deal with Mexico, Canada, South Korea. We're negotiating with Europe, the European Union. We are negotiating with China, which is, by far, the biggest of them all. We're doing very, very well," the president said in response to a question.
