Trump: 'I'm Not Happy' with Border Security Deal , but Another Shutdown Looks Unlikely

President Donald Trump said Tuesday he has reservations about a tentative federal spending deal, but he does not think parts of the government will shut down for the second time since December.

The president did not immediately commit to signing the agreement reached late Monday to prevent a partial government closure this weekend.

"The answer is no. ... i am not happy" regarding the agreement, Trump said during a Cabinet meeting. However, he added, "I do not assume you are going to see a shutdown."

Bipartisan appropriators emerged from a meeting Monday night saying they have a deal in principle to keep the government running past a midnight Friday deadline. The measure would put about $1.4 billion toward physical border barriers, but not a wall as the president has demanded. It includes money for 55 new miles of bollard fencing on the U.S.-Mexico border.
