Former U.S. President Donald Trump said that if reelected, he would shift resources from federal law enforcement agencies and send thousands of overseas-based troops to secure the southern border.

President Trump addressed supporters in the city of Dubuque, Iowa, on Sept. 20. Iowa will host the Republican Party’s first nominating contest for the November 2024 election in January and has been the primary host for nominating contests since 1972.
