Trump’s remarks to reporters in the Oval Office suggested he was not concerned or surprised by the states’ legal challenge. “I think, in the end, we’re going to be very successful with the lawsuit,” Trump said. Trump declared the national emergency under a 1976 law after Congress declined to give him the $5.7 billion he wanted to build parts of the barrier this year. Trump agreed to sign that and then declared a national emergency, redirecting an additional $6.7 billion beyond what lawmakers authorized for the project. And we have to stop all of those things that a strong wall will stop,” he said.
