Pres. Trump threatens to shutdown U.S. government


President Trump says he has no problem triggering a government shutdown if congress fails to back his immigration policies

Speaking alongside the Italian Prime Minister, Trump repeated his threat to close the federal government unless funding for his border wall is approved by US lawmakers

Government funding runs out at the end of September.

Trump's position, which has been criticized by members of his own party, hasn't come as a surprise.
