President Donald Trump on Thursday will declare widespread opioid abuse a public health emergency, while resisting a controversial move that might have tapped federal funds sought by hurricane-stricken Texas, Florida and Puerto Rico.
President Obama asked Congress for an emergency $3.7 billion to contain the surge of Central American immigrants crossing illegally into the U.S. from Mexico.
President Barack Obama said the enrollment of more than 7 million people for coverage under his signature health-care law serves as a rebuke to its critics, including Republicans who repeatedly have tried to repeal it.
Obama cited companies such as Costco Wholesale Corp. and Gap Inc. as he pressed lawmakers again to raise the U.S. minimum hourly wage to $10.10 from $7.25.
