TRUMP: GOVERNMENT WON'T OPEN UNTIL WE HAVE A WALL

PRESIDENT TRUMP SAID TUESDAY THE PARTIAL GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN WILL CONTINUE UNTIL HE GETS FUNDING FOR A BARRIER WALL ON THE U-S-MEXICO BORDER. TRUMP ALSO SAID HE WILL VISIT A NEW SECTION OF BORDER WALL IN JANUARY. HE CLAIMED EARLIER THAT HE RECENTLY APPROVED A NEW 115 MILE SECTION, BUT THE WHITE HOUSE HASN'T GIVEN ANY DETAILS ON THE CLAIM. A QUARTER OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHUT DOWN FRIDAY NIGHT AS LAWMAKERS AND THE PRESIDENT FAILED TO COME TO A DEAL. THE PRESIDENT -- DEMANDING FIVE BILLION DOLLARS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF HIS LONG PROMISED BORDER WALL.
