Shutdown Deal

Donald Trump may grudgingly sign budget deal to avoid another shutdown Friday night; hardliners say it's 'political suicide'

US president Donald Trump is expected to grudgingly accept an agreement that would keep the government open past 15 February and provide merely a fraction of the money he's been demanding for his wall along the US-Mexico border. Hardliners in the Republican party are calling Trump's caving in "political suicide".

Donald Trump 'unhappy' with new shutdown deal; says 'everything is on the table' to build US-Mexico border wall

US President Donald Trump said Tuesday he's "unhappy" with a hard-won agreement to prevent a new government shutdown and finance construction of more barriers along the U.S.-Mexico border, but he didn't say whether or not he would sign the measure. GOP congressional leaders swung behind the proposed deal, selling it as a necessary compromise.
