President Donald Trump will “absolutely” shut the government down if Congress doesn’t approve funding for his border wall, White House Senior Adviser Stephen Miller said today, Newsweek reports. Trump will do “whatever is necessary” to “protect” the United States, according to Miller.
For President Trump this is not the first time to threaten government shutdown. He has done so on numerous occasions since taking office. This time, however, the threat appears to have lead to somewhat of a compromise. As previously reported by the Inquisitr, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer recently agreed to put $1.6 billion of taxpayer money to fencing and other border security measures.
Although Schumer insists that he does not, in fact, support a “physical wall,” the decision to compromise appears to have come back to haunt him. A group of border-state House Democrats urged Schumer to withdraw the proposal.
