Trump intensifies his attacks against Pelosi for his opposition to the wall

Donald Trump stepped up Friday night's attacks on Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, describing her as "very harmful to the United States" because of her opposition to the construction of the wall demanded by the Republican president in the United States. border with Mexico.

Earlier in the day, Donald Trump said there was a "high probability" that he would declare a state of emergency in order to secure the funds needed to fulfill his most symbolic electoral campaign promise in 2016.

The head of the White House has raised this threat several times in recent weeks, but the impasse in the negotiations between Republicans and Democrats could convince him to resort to this option that would allow him to get rid of the Congressional budget.

This exceptional procedure is, however, likely to raise legal and constitutional disputes.

Nancy Pelosi reaffirmed Thursday that she was opposed to the construction of the wall. The Democratic Party, which regained control of the House of Representatives in January, proposed multi-billion dollar measures for border security, but no credit for a wall.
