Trump doubles down on shutdown threat

President Trump on Monday doubled down on his threat to shut down the government to secure enhanced border security measures.

"If we don't get border security after many, many years of talk within the United States, I would have no problem doing a shutdown," Trump said during a joint press conference with Italy's prime minister.

But Trump would not say if he would veto a spending bill in September unless it included "full" funding for a border wall, saying, "I'll always leave room for negotiation."

"I have no red line, unlike President Obama," he added. "I just want great border security."

After praising Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte for his hardline stance on immigration, Trump blasted U.S. immigration laws, calling them a “laughingstock” and the “worst” in the world.
