Acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney says President Donald Trump is prepared for another government shutdown if Congress won t work with him to secure the southern border.
Mulvaney says Trump doesn t want to see federal agencies closed again and doesn t want to declare a national emergency either. But he says Trump is prepared to do either.
He says Trump agreed to reopen the government for three weeks to give Democrats a chance to negotiate. Mulvaney says some Democrats agree with Trump s plan to better secure the border, but said they couldn t work with the White House as long as there was a partial government shutdown.
Mulvaney spoke Sunday on CBS ``Face the Nation and ``Fox News Sunday.
