Larry Kudlow, a top White House economic adviser, said President Trump’s “tough” 2020 budget blueprint, due out Monday, could trigger a new fight over the his desired U.S.-Mexico border wall.
The 2020 budget blueprint will include at least $8.6 billion in border wall money, a senior administration official said Sunday. About $5 billion is slated to come from the Department of Homeland Security, with $3.6 billion coming from military construction funds.
“I suppose there will be” another budget fight over the wall, Mr. Kudlow said on “Fox News Sunday.”
“I would just say that the whole issue of the wall and border security is of paramount importance,” Mr. Kudlow said. “We have a crisis down there. I think the president has made that case very effectively.”
