(FOX NEWS) – President Trump announced that he will address the nation on Tuesday night before traveling later in the week to the U.S.-Mexico border, as he seeks to highlight border security and presses Democrats for wall funding amid the protracted standoff that triggered a partial government shutdown now stretching into its 17th day.

“I am pleased to inform you that I will Address the Nation on the Humanitarian and National Security crisis on our Southern Border. Tuesday night at 9:00 P.M. Eastern,” Trump tweeted on Monday.

Trump plans to address the nation from the Oval Office, in a first for his presidency.

His travel plans to the border were revealed earlier in a tweet by White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders.
