Trump declared that he adheres to the most rigid policy concerning Russia

On Thursday morning, 30 May, President Donald Trump spoke to reporters before flying to Andrews, Maryland air base. He noted. that during the years of his presidency he achieved the adoption of the toughest sanctions against Russia, writes "Voice of America".

At the same time, Trump added that he is in favor of finding a common language with Russia, China and even with Iran, if the latter is ready to negotiate.

The US president also promised to make a “sensational” statement on the southern border on Thursday or Friday.

As the president told reporters on Thursday morning, the statement will be devoted to people who illegally cross the border, and will be the most significant of all that he spoke earlier on this topic.

“This is a very important statement. We are going to do something very crucial at the border, ”said Trump, noting that he is not going to close the border.

Immigration is one of the priorities of Trump’s policies. During the election campaign, he promised to build a wall along the border with Mexico.

However, so far he has not been able to get enough support in the Senate and the House of Representatives to change immigration laws or obtain funding for the construction of the wall.

In February, the president declared a state of emergency at the border to get funding, but last week a federal judge blocked some of the funds that Trump wanted to use for construction.

In recent months, the total number of illegal immigrants crossing the border at and between the ports of entry has increased dramatically. In March and April, the number of illegal immigrants detained at the US border, exceeded 100 000 in each of these monthswhat was the highest monthly figures for 12 years.

One of the officials of the Department of Homeland Security said that the agency expects that in May the number of illegal immigrants detained at the border would exceed 120 000 people.

Meanwhile, a group of supporters of Donald Trump began build independently the promised wall by the president along the border with Mexico, raising funds through a crowdfunding campaign on the Internet.
