During a joint White House press conference with the leaders of the Baltic States on Tuesday, the president said he would have a meeting with Defense Secretary James Mattis "in a little while" about sending US troops to the border with Mexico “until we have the wall."

He further stated that that he is interested in withdrawal of the US army forces from Syria.

A US-led coalition has been conducting airstrikes against what are said to be terrorist targets inside Syria since September 2014 without any authorization from the Damascus government or a UN mandate.

Trump also slammed "caravans" of people coming through the border with Mexico, further blasting the southern neighbor over the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
