1. The shutdown won’t end soon.

Mr. Trump threatened to keep agencies closed for “months or even years” unless Congress approved money for his proposed wall on the southern border. Above, in the Rose Garden after the meeting.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California, whose party assumed control of the House this week, said Democrats were committed to securing the border but wanted government offices reopened while they negotiated. “We can do that best when government is open,” she said.
