Trump to address nation about 'crisis' at wall

None

U.S. President Donald Trump says he will address the nation Tuesday night about what says is a "crisis" at the U.S.-Mexico border.

 

Trump's prime-time address will come amid a partial government shutdown caused by his insistence that Congress give him more than $5 billion to build a wall on the border. Congressional Democrats are refusing to pay for a wall.

 

Trump also plans a trip Thursday to the southern border to highlight his demands for the wall.

 

Trump tweets that he will address the nation at 9pm Eastern time Tuesday.
