President Donald Trump told reporters that he wouldn’t rule out shutting down the federal government over border security, primarily to fund a wall on the southern border, echoing statements he’s made in the past to urge Congress to act.
Congress still has to fund part of the federal government before the New Year, and Trump said on Nov. 22 that there “certainly could” be a shutdown if Congress doesn’t act on border security, “which the wall is part of.”
