WASHINGTON, Jan. 4-- U.S. President Donald Trump said Friday that he's prepared for a partial government shutdown to last for months or years, after his meeting with Congressional leaders yielded no deal on funding for a U.S.-Mexico border wall. Speaking to reporters from the White House Rose Garden, Trump said he wouldn't reopen the government until a dispute between the White House and Democrats over border security is resolved. "We won't be opening until it's solved. We think this is a much bigger problem," the president said, adding it is a problem of national security. |
