President Donald Trump plans to deliver a prime-time televised address on Tuesday before he travels to the U.S.-Mexico border later in the week as he battles Democrats over his proposed border wall.
All the major broadcast networks, as well as Fox News and CNN, plan to air the speech, according to company representatives. Some broadcasters had deliberated on Monday whether to skip the roughly 8-minute address, according to people familiar with the matter who weren’t authorized to speak publicly.
