Trump Tells Schumer, Pelosi He'll Shutdown the Government Over Border Security

Dec.11 -- President Donald Trump said Tuesday he would be “proud” to shut down the U.S. government if his demands for border funding aren’t met. “I will be the one to shut it down. I’m not going to blame you for it,” Trump said during a chaotic and acrimonious discussion with Nancy Pelosi, the top Democrat in the House, and Chuck Schumer, the top Democratic senator, conducted in front of reporters at the White House.
