WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump headed to California on Friday in a renewed push to make border security a central campaign issue for his 2020 re-election.
Trump, talking to reporters as he left the White House to head out west, denied that he changed his mind about shutting down the border with Mexico, a threat he backed off on Thursday. Trump said he reversed course because he saw Mexico get tougher in stopping illegal immigrants from moving north.
“Mexico has been absolutely terrific for the last four days,” the president claimed, as he pushed Congress to act. “I never changed my mind at all. I may shut it down at some point.”
