White House Chief of Staff says Trump is prepared for another government shutdown
- 5 years ago
Acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney says President Trump is ready to shut down the government again if a deal on border security is not reached.
Mick Mulvaney made the remarks on CBS' 'Face the Nation' and comes less than two days after Trump agreed to reopen the government for three weeks to allow further negotiations.
It ended a 35-day government shutdown - the longest in American history - that saw 800,000 furloughed federal miss two paychecks.
Mulvaney said talks may be different this time as Democrats agree with Trump's plan to better secure the border.
