Ameriški zakonodajalci so se znašli sredi pogajanj, s katerimi želijo preprečiti delno blokado delovanja vlade, ki bi bila že tretja, odkar je svoj mandat nastopil Trump, a predsednik ne popušča. Želi, da kakršenkoli zakon zagotovi zahtevanih 5 milijard dolarjev za izgradnjo obljubljenega zidu.
Predsednik Trump se je odločil, da je čas za izpolnitev njegove največje predvolilne obljube, in kakor kaže, tokrat ne misli popuščati. Od kongresa je tako po poročanju portala Zero Hedge zahteval, da zagotovi pet milijard dolarjev za gradnjo zidu na meji z Mehiko.
Da bi dal svojim nasprotnikom jasno vedeti, da tokrat ne bo popuščanj, je Trump preko Twitterja sporočil, da če kongres ne bo zagotovil potrebnih sredstev, bo enostavno ukazal vojski, da zgradi zid. Kot vrhovni poveljnik ima ameriški predsednik moč, da v imenu državne varnosti zaobide kongres.
Despite the large Caravans that WERE forming and heading to our Country, people have not been able to get through our newly built Walls, makeshift Walls & Fences, or Border Patrol Officers & Military. They are now staying in Mexico or going back to their original countries…….

Ob tem je Trump tudi obtožil licemerja vodjo demokratov Nancy Pelosi in Chucka Schumerja, ki sta leta 2006 glasovala za financiranje gradnje zidu na meji z Mehiko, kakršnega želi Trump, sedaj pa predlogu nasprotujeta in ga ovirata.
…..Ice, Border Patrol and our Military have done a FANTASTIC job of securing our Southern Border. A Great Wall would be, however, a far easier & less expensive solution. We have already built large new sections & fully renovated others, making them like new. The Democrats,…..

“Navkljub velikim karavanam, ki SO SE oblikovale in napotile proti naši državi, niso bili zmožni priti preko naših novozgrajenih zidov, na hitro postavljenih sten in ograj, iti mimo obmejnih carinikov in vojske. Zdaj so ostali v Mehiki ali pa se vračajo nazaj v države izvora,” je sporočil Trump.
….however, for strictly political reasons and because they have been pulled so far left, do NOT want Border Security. They want Open Borders for anyone to come in. This brings large scale crime and disease. Our Southern Border is now Secure and will remain that way…….

“Ljudje se ne zavedajo, kolikšen del zidu, vključno z opravljenimi prenovami je bil že zgrajen. Če demokrati ne zagotovijo glasov, ki bodo obvarovali našo državo, bo vojska zgradila preostale dele zidu. Oni se zavedajo, kako pomembno je to.”
…..I look forward to my meeting with Chuck Schumer & Nancy Pelosi. In 2006, Democrats voted for a Wall, and they were right to do so. Today, they no longer want Border Security. They will fight it at all cost, and Nancy must get votes for Speaker. But the Wall will get built…

Pričakuje se, da se bo Trump s Pelosijevo in Schumerjem sestal v torek, saj je rok za finalizacijo proračuna zgolj dva tedna stran.
….People do not yet realize how much of the Wall, including really effective renovation, has already been built. If the Democrats do not give us the votes to secure our Country, the Military will build the remaining sections of the Wall. They know how important it is!
