Donald Trump’s speech in Washington has now wrapped up (see our 15.36 post).
The US president did discuss a range of domestic topics, but he didn’t mention the war in Ukraine.
It comes after he told reporters he was “not happy” after Moscow launched its largest overnight offensive since the full-scale invasion began.
But we have had some news on Trump’s second state visit to the UK next week.
The boss of Nvidia, the chipmaker which has become the world’s most valuable public company, is among the corporate chiefs lining up to accompany Trump on his visit.
Sky News has learnt that Jensen Huang, the Nvidia chief executive who has presided over the stratospheric rise in its valuation to more than $4trn, is expected to attend a state banquet at Windsor Castle hosted by King Charles III during the trip.
Sources said on Monday that Sam Altman, the boss of OpenAI; Larry Fink, chairman and chief executive of asset management behemoth BlackRock; and Stephen Schwarzman, the boss of private equity giant Blackstone, were also expected to be among the attendees.
