(23 Jan 2019) U.S. President Donald Trump says he will do an "alternative" event since House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has blocked him from giving his State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress.
Trump at the White House Wednesday said that the cancellation was a "disgrace."
He did not detail his next move, saying: "we will be announcing what we're doing."
The California Democrat told Trump in a letter Wednesday the Democratic-controlled House won't pass the required measure for him to give the nationally televised speech from the House floor.
Trump said he was planning a "really important speech" and called Pelosi's move a "great blotch on the country that we all love."
He argued Pelosi was blocking him because she doesn't want to hear "the truth" about border security.
