Donald Trump Sued by SIxteen US States

In the United States, sixteen states are suing the actual government after president Donald Trump declared that it was urgent to raise money in order to build the Mexican border wall. Connecticut, Virginia or Nevada are some of the states which are involved. Indeed, he is looking for a way to honor the promise he made during his campaign. He used emergency powers to allow him to bypass the usual process. Trump expects to take money from the military and disaster reliefs budgets to pay for the wall.

This project comes within the scope of a migration crisis in the US southern border, as Trump pretends, a declaration rejected by migration experts. However, the Congress did not agree with Trump’s decision, particularly on the financial aspects. This disagreement set off the longest shutdown of US’ history.  Eventually, the states are suing president Trump to prevent him from accomplishing his expensive project.
