Скачать или смотреть Trump: Republicans 'very unified' on shutdown

(9 Jan 2019) President Donald Trump left a meeting with Republican Senators regarding the ongoing government shutdown insisting his party is "very, very unified" over the need for a wall at the southern border.
Trump and Vice President Mike Pence made the trip to Capitol Hill for the private lunch meeting with the Senate GOP caucus to shore up support.
The partial shutdown is now in its 19th day, the second longest ever.
Several Republican senators have said the government should be re-opened while talks continue over border security and Trump's demand for money to build the wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Trump told reporters after the lunch meeting that "there was no reason for me even to be there," adding that Republicans want border security and national security.
The president said the meeting lasted about an hour and they had a "great time." "There was no discussion about anything other than solidarity," he said.
