Flake Says Trump Won’t Follow Through on Border Threat

Outgoing Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) told CNN it was “highly unlikely” that President Trump would follow through on his threat to close the southern border if Democrats do not fund his proposed border wall.

Said Flake: “It’s highly unlikely – gratefully – that he would do that. It’s not likely to happen. It would stifle commerce, significant commerce, between our two countries that benefits both of us. So I don’t think he will follow through, I hope not.”
