Trump says decision will depend on 'what happens over the next few days'
Trump has the power to declare a national emergency and redirect defense spending money to build a wall. It's a power that's supposed to be used in case of war but it looks like he's prepared to use it to have his way.
Other comments from Trump:
Says he doesn't think he's come down from his $5.6 billion request for wall funding
China's economy is not doing well, that gives China an incentive to negotiate
We are negotiating a location for a summit with North Korea's Kim but sanctions will remain in place
US government looking into American being held in Russia
We have to build a wall but it can be made of steel instead of concrete
China deal is coming along well
On we go with the shutdown. It's tough to say how much it's affected markets but it's a small factor at the very least. The continued positive talk on China is good news.
