Trump to meet with House GOP as frustration builds
By Jordan Fabian - 12/20/18 11:26 AM EST

President Trump will meet with House Republicans on Thursday as his frustration builds over their refusal to include border-wall funding in a stopgap spending bill.

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement the meeting will take place at noon.

“At this moment, the president does not want to go further without border security, which includes steel slats or a wall,” she said. “The president is continuing to weigh his options.”

Trump has refused to state publicly whether he will accept a funding bill without wall money, renewing the prospect of a partial government shutdown.
