With the deadline for a government shutdown looming, President Donald Trump said that he is considering a veto of the $1.3 trillion budget bill which was just approved by the House and Senate.

The president explained in a Twitter message that the measure does not fund a wall on the southern border and does nothing for the 800,000 aliens who entered the country illegally as minors.
