Trump to 'address nation' on wall

President Donald Trump was set later yesterday to deliver a primetime address to the nation on immigration as he pushed for a showdown in his battle for a controversial US-Mexico border wall. Trump's plans for a national address at 9:00pm and a trip to the actual border Thursday raise the stakes in the row with congressional Democrats refusing to fund his wall project. The stalemate has led to a partial government shutdown now in its third week.
