State Of The Union Address Live: US President Donald Trump will lay out his plans for Iran during his State of the Union address to Congress on Tuesday evening, White House officials have told Reuters. Trump is delivering his annual State of the Union speech at a time of deep political divisions and sweeping policy changes across the country. The address comes one year into his current term, during which he has pursued an aggressive agenda that has reshaped domestic priorities, strained international alliances, and expanded presidential authority through both legislation and executive action.
Trump has pushed through key elements of his platform, sometimes working with Congress but often bypassing lengthy negotiations to move forward with his policies. His most significant legislative achievement so far is a sweeping Republican-backed tax and spending package that introduced new tax benefits, including savings accounts for infants and exemptions on tips, while also cutting funding for programmes such as Medicaid and SNAP food assistance. The law also allocated more than $170 billion to the Department of Homeland Security to support immigration enforcement and deportation efforts.
