The Department of Defense backed up President Donald Trump’s assertion that he could have the military build a border wall if Congress failed to fund further construction of one.

During a contentious discussion at the White House on Tuesday, Trump told Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, “If we don’t get what we want, one way or the other, whether it’s through you, through military, through anything you want to call, I will shut down the government.”

The chief executive is requesting $5 billion for wall construction, while Schumer has agreed to $1.6 billion for border security.
