President Donald Trump said he will make a "major" announcement on Saturday about the border and ongoing government shutdown.

The president did not provide any further details on what he would discuss on what is set to be the 28th day of the partial government shutdown. The White House press team offered no further guidance to reporters when asked about the president's tweet late Friday.

The shutdown is the result of Congress's inability to pass a short-term funding bill for the government that Trump would be willing to sign.
