Trump not declaring emergency ‘right now’

US President Donald Trump has said that he has no immediate plans to resort to a national-emergency declaration to build a wall on the border with Mexico, the issue behind a partial government shutdown now in its 21st day. “What we’re not looking to do right now is a national emergency,” he said during a White House roundtable on border security on Friday. “I’m not going to do it so fast,” Trump was quoted as saying by Xinhua news agency.

While some prominent Republicans have endorsed the idea of the emergency declaration, other GOP lawmakers remain uneasy. “We want Congress to do its job,” Trump said Friday, at the same time he called on Democratic legislators to return to Washington.
