U.S. television and cable networks plan to air a Democratic response to President Donald Trump’s prime-time address pressing his case for building a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.
NBC said in a statement Tuesday that it will air a Democratic rebuttal after Trump’s speech to the nation at 9 p.m. in Washington. ABC, CBS, Fox and CNN all said they will follow suit. Trump has demanded more than $5 billion to build a wall along the U.S. border with Mexico that he’s said will control the influx of migrants.
