President Trump has said he won't re-open the U.S. government until he gets funding for his border wall with Mexico.
For more on this and other news around the world we turn to our Ro Aram…
Aram… Trump is really digging his heels in….

That's right Mark…There has still been no agreement between the White House and the Democrats to end the political impasse on Trump's wall.
The government shutdown is now in its fourth day and is expected to continue into the New Year.
President Trump said the wall was needed to stop what he called bad people.

"…….. You know, there's a problem in this world today, it's called human trafficking. Human trafficking is one of the hard to believe problems and we're not going to let that take place. We are working so hard to catch these traffickers. They're bad people. We can't do it without a barrier; we can't do it without a wall….."

Trump also claimed that the wall was scheduled to be built through renovations and new contracts and that he was going to visit the site next month.
These claims are yet to be confirmed by the White House.
The president also suggested without evidence that federal workers were willing to stay on unpaid leave until he receives his wall funding.
