President Donald Trump says he is taking a wait-and-see approach when it comes to his threat to close the southern border as soon as this week.
Trump is telling reporters as he meets with NATO's secretary general that he's pleased with steps that Mexico has taken in recent days and that, "We're going to see what happens."
But he says that he's "ready to close it" if he has to and will do so if Mexico stops helping or if he fails to reach a deal with Congress to overhaul the nation's immigration laws."
Trump is bemoaning current regulations and says: "We're going to have a strong border or we're going to have a closed border."
