WASHINGTON _ Additional U.S. military troops are being deployed to the border with Mexico ahead of an alleged migrant caravan's approach, President Donald Trump said Thursday.
The announcement came amid a morning tweetstorm, but he didn't specify how many new troops he's sending.
The announcement came after he suggested a House-Senate border security committee trying to strike a deal and avert another government shutdown is "wasting" its time. In his view, Democrats won't support monies for his proposed border wall.
In the latest tweet, Trump repeated his contested contention that the structure already is being built. Democratic lawmakers and immigration experts say otherwise.
