A government shutdown could be the result of Trump’s demand for funding for a wall on the Mexico border.
Among Trump’s priorities for the CR* are the wall and the military, according to White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer.
Congressional Democrats and some Republicans oppose the funding of the wall, and it may result in a government shutdown on Saturday, Trump’s 100th day in office. At least 8 democrats are needed to pass a funding bill.
However, Trump was reported to have indicated in a private meeting with conservative media outlets this week that he may put off seeking funds for the border wall until after Republicans begin drafting the budget blueprint for the next fiscal year, which would decrease the likelihood of a shutdown.
