Returning to the public eye, Trump will head to US-Mexico border

The former US president has laid low since leaving office but will resume travel – and rallies – later in June.

Former President Donald Trump has said he would visit the US-Mexico border later this month with Texas Governor Greg Abbott after both complained about a rise in migrants crossing into the United States. Trump, Abbott and other Republicans have criticised Democratic President Joe Biden for rolling back Trump immigration restrictions as the number of migrants arriving at the border has reached the highest monthly levels in 20 years. “The Biden Administration inherited from me the strongest, safest, and most secure border in U.S history and in mere weeks they turned it into the single worst border crisis in U.S history,” Trump said in a statement on Tuesday,  announcing he had accepted an invitation from Abbott to visit the border on June 30.
