The White House said Tuesday (18) that wants to avoid a government shutdown due to lack of resources and hopes that he will look for other ways to finance the wall at the Mexican border if Congress decides not to include the proposal in the draft budget to be voted on this week.
In an interview with FoxNews, White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said there were "different alternatives" to get the money needed to build the wall. However, the government representative did not explain where the money would come from.
Congress must approve by Friday midnight a draft budget to be able to finance the federal government. However, the country's president, Donald Trump, has called for the inclusion of 5 billion US dollars for the construction of the border wall.
Last week, Trump said that he would be "proud" to cripple the government if he did not get the money for the jobs.
However, Sanders contradicted the boss during the interview.
"In the end, we do not want to close the government, we want to close the border," said the White House spokeswoman.
The Democratic leaders of Congress have offered $ 1.3 billion to the government to provide border security, but the party opposes the use of this money for the wall.
Some members of the Republican party are already criticizing the idea of funding the work because they worry about the public deficit and want to cut spending.
Since Trump came to power in 2017, the government has been paralyzed twice. The first of them took place from January 20 to 22, 2018, when Democrats subordinated budget approval to creating a legal solution for dreamers, illegal immigrants who came to the United States when they were children.
The second was produced on February 9 and lasted only nine hours. The protagonist of this era was Republican Senator Rand Paul, who fiercely opposed any increase in public spending and decided to block the approval of the budget.
