Trump signals he'll call national emergency after "waste of time" border talks

President Trump told the New York Times in a wide-ranging interview that negotiations with Democratic lawmakers will have been “a waste of time” if House Speaker Nancy Pelosi doesn’t provide funding for a border wall, and signaled that he has laid the groundwork for a national emergency if no deal is reached.

“I think Nancy Pelosi is hurting our country very badly by doing what’s she doing and, ultimately, I think I’ve set the table very nicely. … I’ve set the table. I’ve set the stage for doing what I’m going to do.
