10:30 a.m.
California Gov. Jerry Brown says he is "pretty close" to an agreement with the Trump administration on sending National Guard troops to the Mexican border.
Brown said told reporters in Washington that his troops were "chomping at the bit ready to go" to help combat drug and gun smuggling and human trafficking.
His comments came a day after federal officials said California rejected some proposed duties for the Guard. On Tuesday, Trump criticized said Brown's actions, saying they will worsen crime in California.
