PHOENIX — Donald Trump is planning to have a “major” statement regarding the border, the president announced Thursday morning.

While being asked questions on special counsel Robert Mueller, Louisiana’s abortion ban and the report that the White House wanted the USS John S. McCain out of sight during the president’s trip to Japan, Trump said he would be giving a statement on the border either later in the day Thursday or Friday.

“This is a big-league statement but we are going to do something very dramatic on the border because people are coming into our country. The Democrats will not give us laws, will not change laws,” Trump said after also saying he would have a statement regarding Louisiana’s abortion ban.

“They will not meet, they will not do anything. They want to have open borders, they want to have crime, they want to have drugs pouring into our country, they want to have human trafficking.”
