“Building a wall on the southern border will reduce crime rates across the country!” The damage done to our country because of the weak border - drugs, crime and much more - is much more than a shatdown that democrats can easily fix as soon as they return to Washington! ”Wrote Trump on Twitter.

According to a study conducted by The Washington Post and ABC News, more than half of US residents blame American leader Donald Trump and representatives of the Republican Party for suspending the work of the country's government.

Earlier, Trump appealed to US citizens and stated the need to ensure security on the southern border of the country. He called on American politicians to take all necessary measures for this.

An expert from the Center for Security Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, a political scientist Konstantin Blokhin, commented on the speech in an interview with the NNS.
