President Donald Trump will not sign legislation to fund the federal government that passed the U.S. Senate, U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan told reporters after a meeting with the president on Thursday.

Ryan, speaking alongside U.S. House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy outside the White House, said Trump wanted any spending agreement to secure the U.S. border. House Republicans had serious concerns over funding and the wall but want to keep the government open, Ryan said ahead of Friday's midnight deadline.

Ryan: The president informed us that he will not sign the bill that came from the Senate last evening because of his legitimate concern for border security. So what we are going to go back to the Hse to work with our members. We want to keep the government open.

PERGRAM: House to try to move interim spending bill with amendment of $5 billion for border wall. Plus $8 billion for disaster aid. That may not clear the House. They would then bounce it back to the Senate. Senate probably couldn’t approve that bill

The President hinted earlier Thursday that he may veto the interim spending bill since it did not provide $5 billion for border wall funding.


Last night, the Senate passed a two-month stopgap funding bill in a late night vote to avoid a Saturday government shutdown.


The bill was then quickly sent to the House just two days before the funding was set to expire.


Paul Ryan failed miserably to get the bill passed because President Trump refused to sign without border wall funding.


President Trump now put a tremendous amount of pressure on the House to provide border wall funding in the bill or it’s lights out in less than 48 hours.


Please, Mr. President, keep your campaign promise and get funding for the border wall — even if that means shutting the government down.

Paul Ryan: Donald Trump Will NOT Sign Senate Funding Resolution Without More Border Security

House Speaker Paul Ryan announced Thursday that President Donald Trump would not sign the Senate-passed short-term continuing resolution keeping the government open until February.


“The president informed us that he will not sign the bill that came over from the Senate last evening because of his legitimate concerns for border security,” Ryan said to reporters at the White House, after a meeting with the president.


Trump met with Ryan, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, and Majority Whip Steve Scalise as well as Freedom Caucus rebels Rep. Jim Jordan and Rep. Mark Meadows at the White House to discuss the funding provision.


Ryan said that he would go back to members of Congress to negotiate more border security funding to the bill before moving forward on it.


“We want to keep the government open, but we also want to see an agreement that protects the border,” he said.


Ryan specifically referred to border security, not wall funding, but suggested that the president was ready to fight for more funds.


House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, who joined Ryan at the White House, said that there was “still time” to work on adding border security to the bill.


“The president said that what the Senate sent over is just kicking the can down the road,” McCarthy said. “We want to solve this problem and we want to make sure we keep the government open.”


White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders confirmed in a statement that Republican agreed with the president about border security.


“We protect nations all over the world, but Democrats are unwilling to protect our nation,” she said in a statement to reporters. “We urgently need funding for border security and that includes a wall.”


Congressional Democrats have refused to add more border security to the bill, describing the president’s demands as a “Trump tantrum” that will not sway them.


“Vetoing the last train out of the station would be a doubling down on his responsibility for a Christmas shutdown and every single American would know it,” Schumer said on Thursday.


Many House and Senate Republicans had hoped that the president would simply sign the continuing resolution offered by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell allowing members to leave town for Christmas.


A growing number of prominent conservatives and Trump supporters urged the president to stay and fight for the wall funding at the risk of a partial government shutdown.
On Thursday morning, Trump said he was not happy about Republicans failing to keep their promise about a fight for border funding after the midterm election.


“When I begrudgingly signed the Omnibus Bill, I was promised the Wall and Border Security by leadership,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “It didn’t happen!”

When I begrudgingly signed the Omnibus Bill, I was promised the Wall and Border Security by leadership. Would be done by end of year (NOW). It didn’t happen! We foolishly fight for Border Security for other countries – but not for our beloved U.S.A. Not good!

Rush Limbaugh has been relentless in calling for President Trump to keep his promise to the American people to build the wall and secure funding for it. He said today that ninety percent of the donors want uneducated, cheap labor.

Rush said that the president will require five billion or veto the bill. FOX News is reporting no figure has been given from sources.

President Trump is set to speak at 3:30pm EST.

Thank you GeorgiaPeach! What a day!! Mexico border deal announced and pulling out of Syria ... huge deals. Oh my God, this President is so wonderful.

Praising ICE, Border Patrol.

Debate over border funding and "steel slats."

I have made my position clear, any spending bill must include funds for border.

For decades Washington abandoned this.

Assault on our democracy.

275 billions of dollars a year on illegal immigration.

Jobs and lives.

90 percent of heroin crosses.

5 billion dollars a week.

Spoke to President XI of China about drugs.

2,000 illegal aliens try to cross a day.

Certain people want open borders.

Asking Congress to defend our borders.

Walls work.

In Israel, 99.9 percent successful.

Proposed Steel Slat Barrier.

Strains public services.

Hurts poor Americans.

Principles worth fighting for.

Sovereignty, or we cease to be a nation.

Look forward to signing bill about America First, our people, safety.

Trump was going to sign the CR until he started getting the crap beat out of him through the media and his supporters. Trump is not difficult to beat into submission and that's what has happened here. Good deal. Even Trump isn't foolish enough to ignore the beating he was taking over this. Keep the pressure on!

They'll be voting in the House soon. They're giving speeches now. It's not clear if the hurricane and relief funds is included, oh wait, news is now saying $5.7 billion for the border wall and $8 billion for the disaster relief.
