He was responding to reporters after he arrived for a visit at the Pentagon

WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump said on Thursday the US government "could very well" shut down and that would be very harmful to the military.

"If the country shuts down, which could very well be, the
budget should be handled a lot differently than it has been
handled for the last long period of time," Trump said in answer
to reporters' questions as he arrived for a visit at the
Pentagon.



"If for any reason it shuts down, the worst thing is
what happens to our military."
