“We’ll continue to talk to the Democrats but I think you could very well end up with a closed country for a period of time,” Trump told Friday in the Oval Office.
The prospect of a shutdown increased after Senate Republicans and Democrats earlier Friday each blocked rival plans to provide temporary funding.
The Senate, which can take several days to pass legislation, afterward left town for a one-week that could last as long as Sept. 29. The House plans to stay on recess until after Oct. 1.
