House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has invited President Donald Trump to give the State of the Union address on Feb. 5, following a clash during the partial government shutdown that delayed the speech.

Pelosi previously asked Trump not to give the remarks until after the closure ended. She told the president the House would not approve the joint session of Congress needed for him to speak in the House chamber until the government was open.
