Vote on ending US shutdown likely Thursday, Trump on fenceA plan to avert another US government shutdown will not receive a vote in Congress before Thursday evening, one day before the deadline, lawmakers said, as Donald Trump declined to say whether he would sign the measure. On Wednesday, Trump said he has not seen the legislation yet, but he did not refuse to sign it into law either, suggesting he could stomach the deal in order to avoid a shutdown, and find another way to boost funding for his long-promised wall. “We’ll take a very serious look at it” when the bill arrives, Trump told reporters at the White House.
