President Trump will request at least an additional $8.6 billion in funding to build more sections of a wall along the Mexico border, setting up a fresh battle with Congress less than one month after he declared a national emergency.
In Trump's annual budget request to Congress, he will request $5 billion in funding for the Department of Homeland Security to continue building sections of a wall along the Mexico border, three people briefed on the request said. He also will request $3.6 billion for the Department of Defense's military construction budget to erect more sections of a wall.
Trump led a government shutdown in December that lasted for 35 days because Congress would not appropriate $5.7 billion to build sections of the wall. Eventually, Trump relented and reopened the government. Congress a few weeks later agreed to fund $1.375 billion to finance 55 miles of barrier on the border in Texas.
By signaling on Monday that he wants billions of dollars in additional border wall funding to be part of any deal, Trump is sending an early signal to lawmakers of what his demands will be. During the 2016 campaign, Trump promised repeatedly to build a wall along the Mexico border. He also said that Mexico would pay for it, though the Mexican government has repeatedly refused to finance the project.
