Donald Trump will deliver the speech on the state of the Union on February 5

The American president, Donald Trump, will deliver his State of the Union address to Congressmen in Washington on February 5 said Monday the Democratic Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi

Trump had to postpone this speech, scheduled for this Tuesday, because of "stop", the partial closure of federal administrations that ended Friday after more than a month of paralysis.

The deadline is only 10 days before the deadline for the legislator and the president to agree on a set of security measures at the border preventing a further closure of the government.

"I invite you to present your speech on the state of the Union before a joint session of Congress, February 5, 2019 in the House of Representatives", Pelosi wrote in a letter to Trump, saying that they had mutually agreed on the date.

Pelosi withdrew the initial invitation to the president for security reasons when his government closed, ensuring that there would be no speech to Congress before the resumption of federal operations.

The dispute between Trump and his main rival in Congress came in the the climax of the partial closure that left about 800,000 federal workers without pay for five weeks.

Employees will receive retroactive payments, But the disruption has caused $ 11 billion to the US economy, the Congressional Budget Office said Monday in a report.
