Pence to lead weekend talks with Democrats to end shutdown, fund border wall

President Trump said Friday his administration will lead weekend talks with Democrats in order to find an agreement to reopen shuttered parts of the government and find a way to fund his southern border wall.

“We’re going to be meeting, I’ve designated a group and we’re going to be meeting over the weekend, that group, to determine what we’re going to do about the border,” Trump said in a White House press conference. He said the group will be “negotiating over the weekend on the look, on other things related to border security.”
