Trump likely to agree to two-week government funding extension

The prospects of a partial government shutdown have been looming in recent days after Trump last week renewed his demand for significant U.S. taxpayer funding of his proposed U.S.-Mexico border wall. Trump said on Saturday congressional leaders have sought the short-term extension and he said he would "absolutely consider it and probably give it." Bush died on Friday. This week, Trump told Politico he would "totally be willing" to shut down the federal government unless Congress authorized $5 billion to fund his long-promised wall along the U.S. border with Mexico.
