Ryan: Trump Will Not Sign Short-Term Spending Bill
(Washington, DC) — Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan says President Trump will not sign a short-term spending bill that would avert a partial government shutdown. The Senate passed the bill last night and the measure was on the House calendar today. After meeting with Trump at the White House today, Ryan said Trump is legitimately concerned about border security. He said the House will start working on a spending bill with border security. One-quarter of the federal government will run out of money late tomorrow night.
House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy said America is asking for border security. He expressed optimism about crafting a bill and getting it through the House and Senate before funding runs out. Earlier, House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi said Trump would not receive five-billion dollars for a massive border wall that he has been demanding.
