Later, Trump will deny it.



"I am proud to shut down the government for border security because the people of this country don't want criminals and people that have lots of problems and drugs pouring into our country," Trump said at a meeting in which he and Democratic leaders openly feuded about the border wall.



"If we don't get what we want one way or the other ... I will shut down the government," Trump said.

Trump Calls for Government Shutdown

“If we don’t change the legislation, if we don’t get rid of these loopholes where killers are allowed to come into our country and continue to kill ... if we don’t change it, let’s have a shutdown,” Trump told a law enforcement panel discussing the MS-13 gang at the White House. “I’d love to see a shutdown if we don’t get this stuff taken care of.”
