Trump Isn't Happy With Shutdown Deal He Calls 'Obstruction'

But the agreement also rejects limits Democrats sought on detentions of immigrants apprehended in the U.S.Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky called the deal “certainly good news,” saying it “provides new funds for miles of new border barriers.” He said he’ll review the bill text and hopes the Senate will vote on it “in short order.” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York urged Trump to sign the measure, saying, “These months of shutdown politics must come to an end.”GOP Senator John Cornyn of Texas said he flew with Trump to Washington from a rally Monday night in El Paso, Texas, and he said the president was “reviewing his options,” including moving money from other programs to build a wall at the southern border.The deal still has to be written into legislation, pass both chambers of Congress and get Trump’s approval before Friday night to avoid a partial government shutdown.Stocks in the U.S. rose in part on the prospects of the deal, which removed some uncertainty about a government shutdown, as well as hints the U.S. and China will reach agreement on trade. Trump could boost the number of beds as high as 58,500 with that authority — enough to respond to a surge in illegal immigration and arrests, one aide said.When asked whether Trump will support the deal, Senate Appropriations Chairman Richard Shelby said, “We think so, we hope so.” He said the White House had given Republican negotiators wide latitude to reach a deal.Also participating in Monday’s meetings were Representative Nita Lowey of New York and Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont, both Democrats, and Representative Kay Granger, a Texas Republican.“If the four of us couldn’t get it together, Congress never could,” said Leahy, the Senate Appropriations panel’s top Democrat.Trump remains a wild card. Other funds might be shifted from existing programs, he said.Republicans have described the new barrier funded by the bill as a “wall,” while Democrats prefer the term “fence.” The semantic distinction could allow both sides to claim victory, with Republicans arguing they met Trump’s campaign promise of a southern border wall, and Democrats saying there is no money for a wall.The deal would allow a number of departments to continue operating, including Agriculture, Commerce, Interior, Justice, State, Transportation, Treasury, and Housing and Urban Development.
