House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., said President Donald Trump's proposed border wall with Mexico should ultimately be funded, The Washington Post reported.
"We do agree that we need to have the physical barrier on the border," he said. "We do need to have border control. We do need to enforce our borders," Ryan said. "We completely agree on that."
Ryan's remarks come as Trump threatened to shut down the federal government over funding of the wall, according to the Post.
Trump has warned he wants money for the wall included in an overall government funding bill. The bill must be signed by Trump by Sept. 30 or the government will be forced to close down.
