Newsday

Available for 29 days

President Trump delivered a record breaking speech to a joint session of Congress saying he had overseen a "turnaround for the ages" during his first year back in the White House. We analyse what the President had to say. President Trump also pledged to continue pushing ahead with his broad tariff regime and called the Supreme Court's decision to strike down many of his tariffs "unfortunate". And we report from Mexico where parts of the country are beginning to return to normal. This follows deadly violence after the killing of cartel leader El Mencho at the weekend. Presenters: James Copnall and Anne Soy (Photo: U.S. President Donald Trump delivers the State of the Union address at the U.S. Capitol in Washington D.C. Credit: Nathan Howard/Reuters).
