Trump Vows Appeal After US Federal Judge Blocks Use of Some Border Wall Funds

Reuters

   U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday vowed to appeal a U.S. judge's
   ruling blocking his administration from using $2.5 billion in funds
   intended for anti-drug activities to construct a wall along the
   southern border with Mexico.

   "[W]e're immediately appealing it, and we think we'll win the appeal,"
   Trump said during a press conference on Saturday at a summit of leaders
   of the Group of 20 (G20) major economies in Osaka, western Japan.

   "There was no reason that that should've happened," Trump said.

   Trump has sought to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, but has
   so far proven unsuccessful at receiving congressional approval to do
   so.
