+===== Trump Border Wall Leading To Shutdown =====
+The impasse arose when Trump attempted to add $5.7 billion in financing for a border wall in the US government's 2018 budget. Democrats raised concerns about the efficiency of the proposed wall and the funds needed to build it. A senate vote on the proposed spending package failed to win a majority vote in order for it to move through Congress, leaving Trump unable to garner support for the bill before January 2019.[([[https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-shutdown-idUSKCN1PJ126|reuters]])]

+===== Speaking With Democrat Leaders =====
+Democrats Nancy Pelosi, House Speaker, and Chuck Schumer, Senate Minority Leader, both refused to accept money for the border wall when Democrats won control of the House. A meeting between the three failed to break the impasse. When Pelosi and Schumer refused to offer the funds Trump sought, Trump refused to discuss ending the shutdown. On January 8, both parties delivered televised addresses in which Trump sought public support for a new border wall.[([[https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-shutdown-pelosi-idUSKCN1OY1S2|reuters]])]
+===== NAFTA =====
+On January 10, Trump reaffirmed his view that Mexico will fund the new wall, adding that it would be done through the new trade agreement he negotiated in 2018 to replace NAFTA.[([[https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/11/trump-claims-mexico-will-pay-for-his-border-wall-through-nafta.html|cnbc]])]
