Trump To Speak To Law Enforcement Conference On Today


President Donald Trump is slated to deliver remarks Today at the Major County Sheriffs and Major Cities Chiefs Association Joint Conference in Washington.

The White House has not indicated that the President will diverge from his typical talking points during his speech to law enforcement officials, but these will be the first public remarks he's given since CNN reported that he intends to sign the border security deal to avoid another partial government shutdown, according to two sources who have spoken directly with the President.

The agreement, which includes $1.375 billion for a border barrier, falls well short of the $5.7 billion Trump originally demanded for a wall.

Earlier Wednesday, Trump wouldn't say whether he plans to sign the deal, but indicated he does not want another shutdown ahead of the Friday funding deadline. "Well, we haven't gotten (the legislative text) yet. We'll be getting it, we'll be looking for landmines," Trump said, referring to possible surprises in the final bill. "We'll take a very serious look at it," he added.

The President also attended the conference in 2017, using his opening lines to defend the travel ban he was attempting to instate.
