US President Donald Trump will deliver his annual State of the Union speech on 4 February after accepting an invitation from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Ms Pelosi extended the invitation on Friday for Mr Trump to address a joint session of the US Congress in a letter that was posted to Twitter by her spokesman, Drew Hammill.
Mr Trump's address could be a feisty one. The invitation comes two days after the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives voted to approve two articles of impeachment against the US president.

The Republican-controlled Senate is expected to hold an impeachment trial beginning in early January. Mr Trump's ousting through the impeachment process appeared unlikely.
White House spokesman Hogan Gidley said Mr Trump had accepted the Speaker's invitation to speak.
