WASHINGTON — Congressional leaders and President Donald Trump appeared no closer to a deal to reopen the government Friday following a White House meeting that Democrats said ended with a presidential threat to keep federal offices shuttered for "months or even years."

Trump, though, characterized the meeting as "productive" and said negotiations would continue over the weekend to reach consensus on his demand for $5 billion in border wall funding that has been the focus of the impasse that forced the 14-day-old partial shutdown.
