President Donald Trump will address the nation at 6pm ET, where he's expected to \"explain to the American people that we have a humanitarian and security crisis at our southern border,\" according to Vice President Mike Pence.
Trump's first Oval Office address comes as the partial government shutdown reaches the 18-day mark. Trump is demanding $5.7 billion in federal funding to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) have rejected providing any money for a barrier.
Are you concerned about border security? Should Democrats agree to more funding? Should Congress fund Trump’s “big beautiful wall”?
