Trump's border wall funding talks continue

Talks to keep the US government open while still getting funding for the border wall and military are ongoing, says the White House.

Negotiations between the White House and congressional leaders on a spending measure to keep the US government running beyond this week are continuing, and President Donald Trump is still seeking border wall and military funding, the White House says.

Asked if Trump was insisting on some funding for his planned border wall in the current spending measure, White House spokesman Sean Spicer on Monday said the money for the military and the border security wall were a priority for the president and he would not take them off the table yet.
