Trump declaring state of emergency over border wall could spark ‘war’ in Republican party, Lindsey Graham says

Donald Trump declaring a state of emergency to fund a wall on the US-Mexico border could trigger a “war” in the Republican party, a senator and close ally of the US president has said. Lindsey Graham, senior senator for South Carolina, on Monday urged fellow GOP members to back the “commander-in-chief” over possible plans to bypass Congress if it fails to reach a deal giving Mr Trump the $5.7bn (£4.38bn) he wants for the wall. It seems to me that he’s going to have to go it alone” by declaring an emergency, Mr Graham said.
