WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump says he “won't be extorted” by Democrats to reopen the government , making clear that he has no plans to negotiate as the government shutdown will soon enter its sixth week.

In an interview on CBS's “60 Minutes" that aired on Sunday, Trump said that Democrats who are demanding an extension in health care subsidies “have lost their way" and predicted that they will eventually capitulate to Republicans who have said they won't negotiate until they vote to reopen the government.
