(MENAFN) U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has accused President Donald Trump of endangering American troops and civilians working in Afghanistan, by publicizing a planned congressional trip to the war-torn country.
Trump has indicated that he would turn his attention from the fight over congressional travel back to the budget standoff that has left hundreds of thousands of federal workers without paychecks.
The president posted on Twitter that he would make a "major announcement" on Saturday on the "humanitarian crisis" on the country's southern border and on the partial shutdown, now in its 28th day.
The White House rejected Pelosi's charge of endangering troops and civilians.
