Democrats challenge Trump’s state of emergency move over wall

Democrats hit back at US president’s state of emergency declaration over the building of border wall with Mexico.

Democrats on Tuesday are seeking to overturn US President Donald Trump’s declaration of a state of emergency to access funding for a wall he wants to build on the southern border with Mexico.

The vote is likely to pass, but Trump has vowed to veto it should that happen.
