The pay of Pence is scheduled to rise from $230,700 to $243,500. He told reporters on Friday afternoon that he would turn down the raise.
It was unclear whether the White House had the authority to stop the increases.
President Trump was asked by a reporter Friday whether he would consider halting the raises, or halting them during the shutdown.
“I might consider that," Trump said. "That’s a very good question.”
