President Trump said Friday there is a “good chance†he will declare a national emergency to circumvent Congress and build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.
“I think there’s a good chance we’ll have to do that,†Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
The president suggested more information could come in Tuesday's State of the Union address, saying people should “listen closely†to the speech.
Trump’s comments provide one of the clearest signs yet he may act on his own to build the wall, as his frustration builds with congressional Democrats over their determination to block one of his core campaign promises.
