President Trump “dug in his heels Wednesday as the partial government shutdown drags on, telling reporters during a trip to Iraq that he would do ‘whatever it takes’ to get a wall at the border with Mexico,” Politico reports.
Said Trump: “Whatever it takes. We need a wall. We need safety for our country.”
No votes in Congress are scheduled to break the impasse.
