President Donald Trump intends to sign the border security deal to avoid another partial government shutdown, according to two sources who have spoken directly with the President. Trump said Tuesday that he was “not happy” with the tentative deal reached by congressional negotiators late Monday night that falls far short of his original demands. On Wednesday, he told reporters he would “take a very serious look” at the legislation, adding that he does not want the government to shut down again. Congress faces a deadline to get a deal passed and signed by Trump before Friday. RELATED: Congress’ border security deal to avert a shutdown: What’s included The agreement, which includes $1.375 billion for a border barrier, falls well short of the $5.7 billion Trump originally demanded for a wall. It even falls short of the $1.6 billion included in a Senate package last year. Still, the measure would avert another government shutdown. Polls showed Trump was largely blamed for the previous 35-day impasse. “I don’t want to see a shutdown, a shutdown would be a terrible thing,” the President said during a Wednesday Oval Office meeting with Colombian President Ivan Duque. “I don’t want to see another one, there’s no reason for it.” Even as lawmakers haggled over details of their agreement, the White House had been planning behind the scenes to secure the funds for the wall unilaterally. The White House says Trump is continuing to weigh his options to fund a border wall, which still include taking executive action to secure funding for a wall. It’s not clear which combination of actions the President might use, and the topic has been under debate for weeks. Not all would require declaring a national emergency, and they are likely to be rolled out piece by piece, not necessarily all at once, once Trump signs off.

The estimates for how much each option could garner have also been under debate, and most White House aides believe any executive action will prompt legal challenges – some will be easy and some more difficult legally, per aides familiar with the matter. The President has held nearly daily meetings with senior advisers and others to discuss his options. Based on CNN’s latest reporting, the President’s unilateral options include: Accessing Treasury forfeiture funds An estimated $680 million Using USC 284 to divert some Pentagon funds for counter-narcotics Up to an estimated $2 billion Using USC 2808 to gain access to military construction funds An estimated $3.6 billion Use Army Corps civil works funds using USC 2293 An estimated $3 billion
