Trump Will Address Nation About Border Tonight
(Washington, DC) — President Trump says he will address the nation about the situation at the U.S.-Mexican border at nine o’clock tonight, Eastern time. Trump tweeted that it is a “Humanitarian and National Security crisis.” In an earlier announcement, White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said Trump will visit the southern border on Thursday. Meantime, the partial government shutdown is in its third week. The shutdown was prompted by Trump’s demand for several billion dollars to help construct a massive wall on the border.
Democrats continue to reject Trump’s demand. Dems took over control of the U.S. House last week. Trump has also threatened to declare a national emergency over border security.
