President Trump announced from Twitter Friday afternoon that he is making a major announcement Saturday at 3 PM concerning the “humanitarian crisis” at the border and the government shutdown.
“I will be making a major announcement concerning the Humanitarian Crisis on our Southern Border, and the Shutdown, tomorrow afternoon at 3 P.M., live from the White House,” Trump tweeted.

President Trump is locked in a feud with House Speaker Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer over border wall funding so the partial government shutdown is entering week four.
Recently, President Trump traveled to the southern border and even addressed the nation from the Oval Office arguing for a border wall because of a humanitarian crisis.
The Democrats, specifically House Speaker Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, are pushing back against the President.
Pelosi tried to pull a fast one on the President when she asked to postpone Trump’s State of the Union address that was scheduled for January 29th.
President Trump asserted his presidential authority on Thursday and cancelled Pelosi’s military flight which only escalated the tension between the two.
The President has previously stated that he would bypass Congress and use emergency powers to build the wall — it will be interesting to see what the President announces from the White House tomorrow.
