A record-breaking State of the Union speech from Donald Trump.

His 107 minute address today is the longest since records began in 1964.

The US president also spoke directly to invited guests - including the US Olympic champion men's hockey team, victims of crime by illegal immigrants, and a 100-year-old World War II veteran. 

Reuters reporter Bo Erickson says Trump covered a wide-range of topics. 

"He really, kind of, treaded on older ground, though - focusing on a lot of domestic issues, like the economy and what his administration's trying to address."
