Trump Admits State of the Union Will Be Postponed

Description

President Donald Trump will not give his State of the Union address during the government shutdown, he announced on Twitter Wednesday night. This concession ends a weekslong scuffle between Trump and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who earlier on Wednesday denied Trump use of the House of Representatives chamber to deliver his speech. "I am not looking for an alternative venue for the SOTU Address because there is no venue that can compete with the history, tradition and importance of the House Chamber," he wrote. "As the Shutdown was going on, [House Speaker] Nancy Pelosi asked me to give the State of the Union Address," Trump tweeted.
