Trump makes public case for border wall in Oval Office address
By The Washington Post | PUBLISHED: January 8, 2019 at 6:53 pm | UPDATED: January 8, 2019 at 6:53 pm By Felicia Sonmez, John Wagner, Josh Dawsey and Mike DeBonis | The Washington Post WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump escalated the battle over his long-promised border wall Tuesday night, using a nationally televised Oval Office address to rally public support and blame Democrats for a partial government shutdown that is now in its third week. Describing the situation at the border as a “growing humanitarian and security crisis,” Trump urged Congress to give him the $5.7 billion he has repeatedly demanded for the wall. “This is a humanitarian crisis — a crisis of the heart and a crisis of the soul,” Trump said.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi accused the President of "manufacturing a crisis" while minority Senate leader Chuck Schumer said Mr Trump was having a "temper tantrum". They spoke on US television in response to Mr Trump's unusual primetime address to the nation from the Oval Office on the 18th day of a government shutdown stalemate. Some departments have ground to a halt as Congress clashed over the president's demand for $5.7billion (£4.5billion) to pay for a barrier on the southern border. Mr Trump said all Americans are hurt by uncontrolled illegal immigration and blamed Democrats for the shutdown. He claimed there was a "growing humanitarian and security crisis" on the frontier but stopped short of declaring a national emergency as some had feared.
