Schumer: Trump threatens to keep agencies shut for months or years

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said that President Donald Trump threatened at a White House meeting today to keep government agencies, including the Agriculture Department, shut for months or years in his quest to get funding for a border wall with Mexico, according to media reports.

Trump is also holding his own Rose Garden news conference today and, according to a White House press pool report, said that the meeting with congressional leaders was “productive.”
