President Trump is not committing to signing a spending bill that would avoid a partial government shutdown after Friday if it doesn’t include funding for his wall on the southern border with Mexico.
“I don’t know yet. People want the border wall,” Trump said when asked by the Associated Press if he would sign a spending bill that didn’t include funding for the wall, according to a transcript released Monday. “My base definitely wants the border wall, my base really wants it — you’ve been to many of the rallies. OK, the thing they want more than anything is the wall.”
