President Donald Trump said Friday there's a "good chance" he'll ultimately declare a national emergency to get money to pay for his proposed border wall, continuing to strike a pessimistic tone that congressional negotiators will reach a legislative deal to fund a southern barrier.
Pelosi said on Thursday, "There's not going to be any wall money in the legislation" to fund border security for the rest of this year.
He also suggested that his relationship with Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has increasingly deteriorated in recent weeks.
"President Trump's recklessness didn't make us safer, it undermined our security with 35 days of border patrol agents, Drug Enforcement Administration agents, Federal Bureau of Investigation agents and Homeland Security personnel missing paychecks", said Drew Hammill, her spokesman.
Trump told CBS News" "Face the Nation' programme that the ongoing negotiations with the opposition Democrats over border security are a waste of time. The committee is working to come up with a deal that could pass before February 15, when a stopgap spending bill will expire absent action by Congress and Trump. He also claimed, without evidence, that many Democrats "want the wall".

"We're building a lot of wall right now as we speak, and we're renovating a lot of wall, and we're getting ready to give out some very big contracts with money that we have on hand and money that comes in. Normandy fencing would work", Pelosi said. "It's a shame, what they do". "She doesn't mind human trafficking or she wouldn't do this", Trump added.
"Roughly 10,000 children are being smuggled into the US every year to be sold as sex slaves", DHS Special Agent Timothy Ballard wrote.
