During Thursday’s White House press briefing—the first in three weeks—Huckabee Sanders was also asked about Trump’s threat to shut down the federal government if Congress doesn’t pay for an expanded wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.

Cecilia Vega: “Sarah, on this threat of the government shutdown if Congress doesn’t secure funding for this wall, how is that not a concession from this White House that Mexico isn’t actually going to pay for this wall and American taxpayers will?”

Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders: “Again, this is something the president is committed to. He’s committed to protecting American lives. And doing that through the border wall is something that’s important. It’s a priority, and we’re moving forward with it. Noah?”

Cecilia Vega: “But he’s not saying that Mexico is going to pay for it now.”

Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders: “He hasn’t said they’re not, either.”
