Thank you very much my fellow Americans.
I am very proud to announce today that we have reached a deal to end the shutdown and
reopen the federal government.
In a short while I will sign a bill to open our government for three weeks until February
15.
I have seen and heard from enough Democrats and Republicans that they are willing to put
partisanship aside.
They have said they are for complete border security and they have finally and fully acknowledged
that having barriers, fencing or walls, or whatever you want to call it, will be an important
part of the solution.
The walls we are building are not medieval walls.
They are smart walls designed to meet the needs of frontline border agents and are operationally
effective.
The requests we have put before Congress are vital to ending the humanitarian and security
crisis on our southern border.
So let me be very clear.
We really have no choice but to build a powerful wall or steel barrier.
If we don't get a fair deal from Congress, the government will either shut down on February
15, again, or I will use the powers afforded to me under the laws and the constitution
of the United States to address this emergency.
We will have great security.
And I want to thank you all very much.
Thank you very much.
