President Donald Trump told reporters on Friday there’s a “good chance” he’ll declare a national emergency on the U.S. southern border but told them to wait until his State of the Union address on Feb. 5.
“We haven’t declared a national emergency yet,” he said at the White House. “I don’t want to say,” he added, before advising reporters to wait until the speech. Later, he said there was a “good chance” he would declare an emergency at some point.
