New reports have affirmed that President Donald Trump is standing by his fight to obtain the proper funding for his promised Southern border wall.

An Overview of the Fight for the Border Wall

Tensions regarding funding for the president’s border wall have mounted in past weeks. Earlier this year, Trump got into a heated debate with Democrat leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer in the Oval Office. Both Pelosi and Schumer stated that Trump lacked the proper votes to receive funding for his wall.

Therefore, the Democrat leaders offered a series of alternatives to keep the government functional after Friday, December 21. However, since none of the proposed legislation granted the $5 billion dollars needed for the wall, President Trump stated that he will not sign it.

The commander-in-chief is still sticking to his guns. Following Trump’s meeting with Republican leaders, Americans have learned that he will still not sign legislation which fails to grant the aforementioned funds for the wall.
