US President Trump has been speaking to journalists at the White House, and he was just asked about the potential government shutdown, APA reports citing BBC.
Trump says it's not inevitable, but it does seem likely to happen.
Trump says he and Republicans are the last ones who want a government shutdown.
"Now, with that being said, we can do things during the shutdown that are irreversible, that are bad for [Democrats] and irreversible by them, like cutting vast numbers of people out... cutting programmes that they like," the president continues.
