GOP leader presses Trump to agree to border deal
Congress is moving forward with a border security deal that would prevent a new shutdown at the end of the week after President Trump expressed unhappiness but stopped short of saying he would kill it.
Trump, who is getting far less in the $1.375 billion deal for border barriers than he had demanded, said he was extremely unhappy with what Democrats had conceded in the negotiations over his border wall.
Its sad. Theyre doing the country no favors, Trump said at a meeting with his Cabinet.
But he predicted there would not be a shutdown, and he said he planned to add to the deal.
Im adding things to it, and when you add whatever I have to add, its all going to happen where were going to build a beautiful, big, strong wall, Trump said.
Hours after Trumps remarks, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said he hoped that Trump would sign the deal, adding that I think hes got a pretty good deal here.
