US President Donald Trump delivered his annual address to a joint session of Congress, setting the record for the longest-ever State of the Union speech, clocking in at almost 1 hour and 50 minutes

Trump repeatedly pushed his economic agenda, saying he had overseen a “turnaround for the ages” during his first year back in the White House

On Iran, Trump said his “preference is to solve this problem through diplomacy” but he warned the country against pursuing a nuclear weapons programme

He sparred with Democrats in the audience numerous times, but did not directly admonish the Supreme Court justices in attendance for their recent tariffs ruling

Abigail Spanberger, Virginia’s governor, delivered the Democrats’ response – she said the president “offered no real solutions to our nation’s pressing challenges”

The president’s speech comes as polls suggest Americans are souring on his second-term agenda ahead of crucial midterm elections in November
