Trump to visit Marine base in Yuma

The White House says Trump will visit Marine Air Station Yuma along the US-Mexico border this week.

President Donald Trump will visit a Marine Corps base in Arizona along the US-Mexico border.

The White House says Trump will visit Marine Air Station Yuma on Tuesday afternoon before he travels to Phoenix to hold a rally.

Yuma's location along the US-Mexico border touches on one of Trump's signature issues: putting up a border wall to stem illegal immigration from Mexico.

The rally in Phoenix will take place at the city's convention centre. Trump tweeted about the event last week with a link for ticket availability.

The president has been holding campaign-style events in Trump-friendly areas since he took office. The rally will be his first in the West.
