Trump says not 'happy' with border deal but shutdown unlikely

WASHINGTON, D.C.: President Donald Trump indicated on Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila) that he will walk back his threat to shut the government even if he does not get all the money he has demanded for building a wall along the US-Mexican border.

Although Trump left enough wiggle room to keep the country guessing, he appeared to be edging toward accepting a deal struck in Congress that would give him significantly less money for the much-maligned barrier.
