Will the US President agree to the compromise in the budget dispute? Donald Trump still leaves that open, but he’s sure he’ll get some money for his wall.
In the US budget dispute, President Donald Trump does not see the Republican and Democratic provisional agreement as the only source of funding for his planned construction of a border wall with Mexico. Senator Richard Shelby, the Republican Republican negotiator, has just presented the details of the deal, Trump wrote on Twitter. For the wall money can also be shifted from other sources. „Regardless of the money for the wall, it will be built while we talk about it!“
What just presented the concept and parameters of the Border Security deal by hard working Senator Richard Shelby. Looking over all these aspects that will be hooked up with lots of money from other sources ….
More details, where the money should come from, Trump did not. He indicated, however, that in case of doubt he could also declare a national emergency in order to advance the construction of the wall. According to the Washington Post , citing a source in Congress, the president could thus gain access to an army fund without the consent of the majority of Democrats. The military program is actually intended for American civil protection and prevention projects.
According to Senator Roy Blunt, Trump can count on about $ 881 million for his purposes. „I’m sure they’re probably already thinking of what they want to do with those $ 881 million.“ Trump could decide that barriers are a more important use for the money. The White House denies such a plan.
Last Monday, the Republicans and the Democrats had agreed on a compromise in the budget dispute, which also includes funding for border management. Citing parliamentary staff, the US media reported that instead of the $ 5.7 billion originally demanded, the US president would receive only $ 1.375 billion to build border facilities along the Mexican border. Donald Trump still has to agree to the compromise.
Trump had just said on Tuesday afternoon, he was not happy with the agreement of the negotiators. At the same time, he praised the Republican negotiators on Twitter. Until this Friday, he would have to agree to the agreement, otherwise threatens the next shutdown. The Republicans want to avoid this and urge Trump to agree to the compromise with the Democrats. The controversy over the construction of the Wall and its financing had led to the longest shutdown in US history at the turn of the year. Over 35 days, the government business was paralyzed in parts.
