White House: Trump will not travel to Florida if government shuts down
President Trump will not travel to South Florida for the holidays if the government shuts down on Saturday, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Thursday.
Sanders made the announcement while speaking to reporters outside the West Wing.
{mosads}Trump has been planning to leave Washington on Friday to spend 16 days at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Fla., for Christmas and New Year’s. The trip is now in doubt with a partial shutdown looming.
The president said he would not sign a spending deal to fund the government through Feb. 8 because it did not include funds for a wall along the southern border.
