President Donald Trump has said it will be a 'good time' to shut down the federal government if Congress doesn't give him the funding to build the wall along the U.S. border with Mexico.
Speaking at the White House on Saturday before flying to California, Trump suggested that he would be prepared to shut down the government next month.
'I think probably, if I was ever going to do a shutdown over border security, when you look at the caravans, when you look at the mess, when you look at the people coming in, this would be a very good time to do a shutdown,' Trump said.
Trump has asked for $5 billion to build the border wall, which was a key promise to voters during his election campaign.

He had vowed to make Mexico pay for the 2,000-mile, but has since acknowledge the U.S. taxpayers will have to foot the bill.
Trump predicted on Saturday that Democrats would agree to the funding to avoid a government shutdown.
'I don't think it's going to be necessary because I think the Democrats will come to their senses,' he said.
'If they don't come to their senses, we will continue to win elections.'
Meanwhile, Trump said the 5,800 military troops deployed to the U.S. border will remain there for 'as long as necessary' in a bid to deter the caravan of migrants currently making its way through Mexico.

Trump's comments came a day after his counselor Kellyanne Conway said lawmakers have 'failed to meet the president's modest demands' for nearly two years.
'Congress needs to act. Congress needs to act on the wall funding, but Congress also needs to act on immigration,' she told Fox & Friends on Friday.
Funding for Homeland Security and other agencies will run out on December 7.
If a new spending bill has not been finalized by that date, a partial government shutdown will occur.
Trump gave lawmakers a pass on funding for his border wall at the last go around as the begged him not to tank their odds of reelection.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
