WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday he was considering vetoing Congress' $1.3 trillion spending bill over immigration issues, including full funding for his proposed border wall and young 'Dreamer' immigrants.

"I am considering a VETO of the Omnibus Spending Bill based on the fact that the 800,000 plus DACA recipients have been totally abandoned by the Democrats (not even mentioned in Bill) and the BORDER WALL, which is desperately needed for our National Defense, is not fully funded," Trump wrote on Twitter.
