President Donald Trump said on Friday (January 25) he would declare a national emergency if he doesn’t eventually reach a deal with Democrats on border security.
This comes after he temporarily ended the shutdown on Friday which lasted for approximately 5 weeks
Trump, who made the comments to reporters during an immigration event at the White House, said earlier on Friday he had reached a deal with lawmakers to reopen the government until Feb. 15 while they work on Trump’s demand for funding for a wall on the U.S. border with Mexico.
