With the partial government shutdown still in full swing as U. S. President Donald Trump and congress continue to battle over funding for the president’s wall across the southern border, he offered a potential other solution to finding the money.
Speaking to members of the media in the Rose Garden of the White House on Friday morning, Trump answered a question by ABC News ‘ senior national correspondent Terry Moran, saying that he did not need congressional support to build the wall.
Moran asked the president if he had considered “granting himself emergency authorities” to find a way to build the way, and Trump answered that he was well within his rights to do so.
“Yes, I have. And I can do it if I want,” the president responded.
