The US Capitol's fencing has been restored ahead of President Joe Biden's State of the Union speech on Tuesday night. Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger said in a statement on Sunday that "a plan has been approved to set up the inner-perimeter fence around the Capitol building" for the address, according to media reports.

The decision was made in light of "the possibility of demonstrations in the coming weeks," as according Manger. "I've also asked assistance from other law enforcement agencies and the National Guard to help us with our security precautions," he added.

Around the time of Biden's State of the Union address, truckers in the United States are reportedly planning protests similar to those in Canada. According to a statement issued by Capitol Police on Sunday, many routes near the Capitol will be blocked to traffic beginning Tuesday evening. Hundreds of unarmed National Guard personnel will be deployed to Washington, D.C. to help police with traffic control.
