White House counselor Kellyanne Conway said Trump is serious about possibly closing the U.S.-Mexico border this week
"I’ll just close the border," he added. "When you close the border, also you will stop a lot of the drugs from coming in."
She also defended the president's decision to cut off aid to the Central American countries of El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. Trump has claimed the governments of those countries had "set up" migrant caravans for entry into the United States.She brushed off the suggestion that ending aid would worsen life in those countries and cause more people to head for the United States.
"This is the classic case of what may happen ... versus what’s right in front of us," Conway said, adding that people in those countries are already facing "deplorable" conditions.
