Donald Trump Is Expected To Make Shutdown Announcement Today

President Donald Trump is expected to make an announcement on Friday relating to the partial shutdown of the U.S. government. The government shutdown is the longest in U.S. history. It has shuttered about one-quarter of federal agencies since Dec. 22 with about 800,000 workers either furloughed or required to work without pay. The White House declined to comment on the reports but it was making arrangement for the president to speak in the Rose Garden. Trump has insisted on $5.7 billion to fund a wall along the U.S. border with Mexico but Democrats rejected his demand.
