Trump says his border wall WILL be built even 'if we have to close down our government' as pressure builds in Congress to provide funding

The Daily Mail reports:

President Donald Trump threatened Tuesday night that he might shut down the federal government unless Congress provides funding for his promised border wall between the U.S. and Mexico.

'Now the obstructionist Democrats would like us not to do it,' the president said during a rally speech in Phoenix, Arizona.

'But believe me: If we have to close down our government, we're building that wall.'

Trump also accused congressional Democrats of putting American security at risk for not supporting the proposal, which was one of his marquee campaign pledges.

'We are building a wall on the southern border, which is absolutely necessary,' he said.

'Let me be very clear to Democrats in Congress who oppose a border wall and stand in the way of border security,' Trump continued: 'You are putting all of Americans' safety at risk.'

Will the wall be built?
