President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence meet with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) at the White House in Washington, Dec. 11, 2018. In an extraordinarily public altercation with Democratic congressional leaders, Trump vowed here to block full funding for the government if they refused his demand for a wall, saying he was ìproud to shut down the government for border security.î (Doug Mills/The New York Times) (The Minnesota Star Tribune)
