Trump Will Not Deliver State of the Union on Tuesday Tuesday was the day the address had been originally scheduled to take place. An aide for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi confirmed that President Donald Trump's address will not happen on that date. The date of Trump's address has been under debate since the final weeks of the government shutdown. Pelosi spoke out against the address, saying it shouldn't happen while the government was closed. It takes a joint resolution from Congress for the address to take place. Trump ultimately agreed to postpone the address. A White House spokesperson said discussions were underway about rescheduling the address. After Trump announced the deal to reopen the government, Pelosi stated, "the State of the Union is not planned now."
