Government Shutdown

On January 9, President Trump made his first TV address from the Oval Office. In it,
he discussed the partial-government shutdown and the border wall with Mexico.
The President maintains that the situation at the border is a humanitarian crisis,
while Democratic leaders accuse the President of holding the American people
hostage. Negotiations, that sometimes seem more like a battle, have stalled, with
people on both sides arguing that the opposing side has the facts wrong.
