US President Donald Trump delivers his State of the Union address on Tuesday, in which he is expected to focus on domestic issues, given his dropping poll ratings.

His address, which should also give a clue as to Republican messaging in the run-up to mid-term elections in November, comes just one week after the Supreme Court struck down many of his sweeping global tariffs, a key element of his economic and foreign policy.

With Trump’s recent immigration crackdown and the release of the Epstein files still fresh in the memory, some Democratic members of Congress have invited guests which highlight both issues.

For instance, Senator Chuck Schumer of New York has invited the mother of a school student who is being held by immigration authorities, while Representative Maxine Dexter of Oregon has given up her place to Epstein survivor Lisa Phillips.

Phillips said she was “just hoping for some type of acknowledgment” from the president during his address and insisted: “We’re not stopping until all the files are released.”
