President Donald Trump said he won’t relent on the partial government shutdown unless Congress funds his proposed border wall, and wouldn’t say whether he’d accept less than $5 billion for the project.
“Whatever it takes,” he told reporters accompanying him Wednesday on an unannounced visit to U.S. troops deployed at an air base in Iraq. “We’re going to have a wall. We’re going to have safety.”
