Trump will consider temporary gov't funding if includes border wall funds-White House

U.S. President Donald Trump would only consider a Senate plan to temporarily fund the government if it included a "large down payment" on a wall along the border with Mexico, White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said on Thursday.

The White House also confirmed that Senate leaders are trying to negotiate an end to the partial government shutdown and that it had spoken to Republican Senator Lindsey Graham about the three-week continuing resolution.
