The Washington Post reports President Trump will support the budget and border compromise bill which Congress will pass today and will simultaneously declare a national emergency according to Senate Leader Mitch McConnell.
The budget compromise would prevent a government shutdown set to start at the end of Friday, but it does not contain the money Trump has demanded for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. The emergency declaration could allow Trump to procure wall funding without approval from Congress, though Democrats have promised to challenge the move.
