WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump in his first Oval Office address Tuesday night declared that migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border represent a “humanitarian and national security crisis” and demanded Congress fund a wall. In his televised appeal to the American people, the president said the current flow of illegal immigration had overwhelmed the system, citing concerns of drug smuggling and human trafficking.

WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump will speak to the nation from the Oval Office on Tuesday to make his case for building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. A dispute over funding the wall sparked a budget crisis and a partial government shutdown, now in its 18th day. If the shutdown stretches to this weekend, it will mark the longest in history.

WASHINGTON—The White House signaled on Tuesday it might be willing to compromise on border wall funding to avoid partially shutting down the government Friday at midnight. President Donald Trump previously demanded $5 billion in the federal budget for the wall, his signature campaign promise. Democrats offered only $1.3 billion or at most $1.6 billion for border security. Republicans in Congress proposed stopgap budget bills but largely indicated it was up to the president to cut a deal with Democrats.

President Donald Trump’s embattled charitable foundation will dissolve, said New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood, who is suing the nonprofit organization.
