The American president Donald Trump will have his signature put under the “grensdeal” that a committee of Republicans and Democrats earlier this week worked out to avoid a new shutdown of the U.s. government. But to additional resources for the construction of his limes wall, he will also be the national state of emergency proclamation. That shares Mitch McConnell, the Republican meerderheidsleider in the U.s. Senate.
According to the agreement that was negotiated by the committee of Republicans and Democrats will Trump just 1,37 billion dollars for the construction of his limes wall. Itself he demanded, however, 5.7 billion. During a speech at a meeting of American law enforcement officers promised Trump yesterday that his wall anyway, would come.
The agreement was earlier in the day has already been approved by the Senate (83-16), and later also adopted the House of Representatives with a large majority (300-128) of the finance act imposing a new ‘shutdown’ of the federal government should avoid. The law is now forwarded to the White House for signature by the president.
It was to wait and see how Trump build his wall then it would be finance. One of the options that he has been threatened, and which he now would like to make, is the promulgation of the national state of emergency along the U.s.-mexico border, where, according to him, both a “humanitarian crisis” as a “crisis of national security” is playing. Thus, the president funding for the construction of the wall, without having first the consent of the Us Congress, that the line has control over the portfolios.

Legal proceedings
Nancy Pelosi, chairman of the U.s. House of Representatives, reacts sharply to the news and threatens with legal measures if Trump is indeed the state of emergency afkondigt. “The situation at the border is not an emergency,” stresses, “it is a humanitarian challenge for ourselves.” With the promulgation of them would Trump also set a precedent that both Democrats and Republicans are not is greatly appreciated, she warns.
“If the president declare a state of emergency may declare an ‘emergency’ that he himself made up – an illusion he wants to convey – think what a president with different values to propose to the American people”, she suggested. Pelosi pulled out the gun violence in the U.S. as a possible example of a national state of emergency, a controversial theme, in which particularly the Democrats, more regulation and want to see.
Shutdown
In december and January were the 800,000 American officials already 35 days without income, due to the partial shutdown in which the public services are on non-active were put, after Trump refused to agree with an earlier agreement in which he too little money for his limes wall.
