Congress is poised to vote today on a massive spending bill that would avert another government shutdown on Friday, while granting nearly $1.4 billion for 55 miles of new wall on the U.S.-Mexico border—a fraction of the $5.7 billion that President Trump has demanded. At the White House, Trump said he would look for “landmines” in the deal before deciding whether to sign it.
President Donald Trump: “We’re going to take a look at it when it comes. I don’t want to see a shutdown. Shutdown would be a terrible thing.”
