In a dramatic move captured on camera, US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ripped up her copy of the President Trump's speech after he concluded the annual address to Congress.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told House Democrats in a closed-door caucus meeting on Wednesday morning that she"shredded" the US President's State of the Union speech Tuesday night because Donald Trump"shredded the truth" in his address, according to one person in the room.

Pelosi was fired up in the meeting, the sources said, and she told her members that the speech was"a disgrace" for having so many falsehoods in it.She said she felt"liberated" because she felt the speech was so outrageous, according to two sources. Pelosi and the President had not communicated in months, with Pelosi confirming to CNN earlier on Tuesday that she hadn't spoken to Trump since a contentious White House Syria meeting in October, which led to yet another clash between the two leaders.
