The White House has confirmed that Trump will declare a "national emergency" to fund the wall on the border with Mexico

The White House confirmed Thursday that President Donald Trump will declare the national emergency to fund the border wall with Mexico. In addition, he announced that the president would sign the finance bill presented by Congress, which has just been approved by the Senate with the support of both parties.

"President Trump will sign the financing bill and, as he has said previously, he will also take other measures, including the national emergency, to ensure national security and put an end to the humanitarian crisis at the border, "said Sarah Sanders, spokeswoman for the White House.

The head of the Republican majority in the US Senate, Mitch McConnell, had said earlier that Trump would sign the budgets that will avoid a new administrative closure and declare the state of emergency to obtain the remaining funds.

"I had the opportunity to speak with President Trump and I would say to all my colleagues that He told me that he was ready to sign the (budget) law. It will at the same time declare the state of national emergency, "said McConnell at the plenary session of the Senate.

According to McConnell, signing the bipartite project gives him a third of the money he wanted for border securitybut would declare a national emergency to seek additional funds.

Chief of Representatives Nancy Pelosi responded to the announcement and said: "What's happening at the border is not an emergency." In addition, he badured that He plans to revoke Trump 's executive order, which he says raises more concern among Republicans than they admit.

Democrats and Republicans have reached an agreement this week on the budget law to avoid this Friday the closure of the federal government.

Text includes $ 1,375 million for border security. Trump had demanded $ 5.7 billion. Two months ago, the Democrats were willing to give $ 1.6 billion (the same amount as the one approved by the Republicans a year ago, while they still controlled the House of Representatives). The President did not agree, which resulted in a 35-day federal closure, which ended only after an air transport crisis.
