President Donald Trump is giving his second State of the Union address before a joint session of Congress, just two weeks after ending the longest government shutdown in US history.<\/p>\n

\n

The address, originally scheduled for January 29, was postponed due to the government shutdown after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi threatened a legislative maneuver to block the president from speaking in the House Chamber.<\/p>\n

The US president\u2019s special guests include a boy bullied because of his last name, a Holocaust survivor who also witnessed the Tree of Life synagogue shooting, family members of a Nevada couple killed by illegal immigrants, a recovering opioid addict, and a Department of Homeland Security agent. Some House Democrats have threatened to boycott the address, for a second year in a row.<\/p>\n
