U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is officially postponing President Trump's State of the Union address until the government is fully reopened.<br />She had initially invited him to deliver the address next Tuesday, but she has since urged him to postpone it due to a lack of security amid the government shutdown. <br />She wrote a letter to Trump on Wednesday, saying the House would not consider a measure authorizing the speech for now.<br />The move came just hours after President Trump notified Pelosi that he was planning to deliver the speech in line with her original invitation.<br />Trump said he was not surprised by Pelosi's reaction and that he would respond to Pelosi in a timely manner.<br /><br />"I'm not surprised. It's really a shame what's happening with the Democrats, they become radicalized……… We'll have to respond to it. We'll respond to it in a timely manner. Thank you very much everybody." <br />
