READ HERE: President Trump to Address Nation Tuesday Night On Border Crisis https://saraacarter.com/president-trump-to-address-nation-tuesday-night-on-border-crisis/ … via @SaraCarterDC
President Donald Trump will address the nation Tuesday night as he prepares to leave for the U.S. Mexico border on Thursday, planning to draw attention to the national security implications of the porous border and the impact the humanitarian crisis has had on America.
Trump’s trip to the border comes more than two weeks into the partial government shut-down. Democrats have refused to allocate the $5.7 billion requested by the administration for funding and the standoff could last for months if neither side compromises.
Trump made his announcement Friday on Twitter saying, “I am pleased to inform you that I will Address the Nation on the Humanitarian and National Security crisis on our Southern Border. Tuesday night at 9:00 P.M. Eastern.” cont https://t.co/fTpCxYuKZ8
