WASHINGTON D.C. — President Trump will be making a ‘major announcement’ on Saturday afternoon about the government shutdown and border security.
He said on Twitter Friday that the announcement will be made at 3 p.m. from the White House.

The president is insisting on $5 billion for the border wall, but legislation for that does not have support from Congress.
