In a complex day of news, US President Donald Trump is set to deliver his State of the Union address tonight, his second major address to Congress this term and the last before the 2026 midterms. The speech comes as the President faces scrutiny on various fronts, including the recent Supreme Court ruling on his tariffs and the Epstein links to celebrity doctor Peter Attia.
According to sources, Trump's State of the Union address is expected to start at 9 pm ET and will be broadcast live on major US television networks. The President is likely to discuss his administration's accomplishments and outline his agenda for the coming year. However, the address will also be closely watched for any comments on the recent Supreme Court ruling that deemed his tariffs illegal.
Meanwhile, in other news, rock band Amyl and the Sniffers have become embroiled in a US legal battle over photoshoot rights. The band's lead singer, Amy Taylor, had taken photographer Jamie Nelson to court for selling fine art prints based on photos of Taylor. However, Nelson has now countersued Taylor, her partner, and the band for damages, alleging that they infringed on his copyright.
In a separate development, celebrity doctor Peter Attia has stepped down from his role as a CBS News contributor after emails exchanged with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein were published by the US Department of Justice. Attia's spokesman said that his role at CBS News "was newly established and had not yet meaningfully begun" and that he would be stepping back to avoid becoming "a distraction from the important work being done at CBS."
Across the Atlantic, a scandal has deepened in the UK Labour Party, with the arrest of former envoy to Washington, Lord Mandelson. The arrest has added to calls for Prime Minister Keir Starmer's resignation.
In Ghana, the government has removed the name of a coup leader from the country's main airport, renaming it Accra International Airport. The move has been met with controversy, with some arguing that the name change contradicts Ghana's democratic values.
Tonight's State of the Union address will be closely watched for any comments on these and other controversies. As the US President takes to the stage, he will face a complex landscape of domestic and international issues, and his speech will be scrutinized for any signs of how he plans to address them.
