President Trump said Thursday that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., would be “begging for a wall” along the U.S.-Mexico border if an existing barrier in California were removed.

“If you go to Tijuana and you take down that wall, you will have so many people coming into our country that Nancy Pelosi will be begging for a wall,” Trump told reporters Thursday. “She’s be begging for a wall. She will say, ‘Mr. President, please, please give us a wall.’ It would be very interesting.”

House and Senate negotiators have until Feb. 15 to reach a border security deal after the president signed legislation last week ending the five-week government shutdown, at least temporarily.

Trump wants the agreement to include funding for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. But on Thursday, Pelosi told reporters she would not bring a bill to the House floor that satisfies the president’s request for wall funding.

“There is not going to be any wall money in the legislation,” she said.

Pelosi said she would, however, support “Normandy” style fencing, which includes moveable barriers, along 30 miles of open border.

Trump, however, said he was not waiting for lawmakers to reach agreement on a border security deal, and he told reporters he doesn’t “expect much coming out of the committee.”

“If there’s no wall, it doesn’t work. She’s just playing games,” he said of Pelosi.
