Senate Democratic Leader Says Border Wall Offer 'Off the Table'
  • 6 years ago

On Tuesday, US Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said he had withdrawn an offer to provide some funding for Republican President Donald Trump’s desired border wall with Mexico. Schumer told reporters, "We're going to have to start on a new basis and the wall offer is off the table," saying it was "part of a package." The reversal comes after Trump invited Schumer to the White House on Friday to negotiate a deal for a funding bill.
