Trump wants $5 billion in funding for his promised wall on the Mexico border, and said it could be a "good time" for a shutdown if he doesn't get it. House Republicans pushed approval for the $5 billion through a key committee, but the Senate's bipartisan bill includes just $1.6 billion for the border. House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy called the Tuesday meeting "very productive."
