President Trump's funding request for a border wall will likely be put on
hold, Senate Republican leaders signaled Tuesday.
Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), a senior member of the Appropriations Committee,
announced at a leadership press conference that Trump's supplemental funding
request will wait until later in the year.
He said the Senate and House leadership are very close to negotiating a bill
to fund government for the rest of 2017.
Adding a supplemental spending bill requested by Trump to pay for military
activities and a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border would complicate the
talks and should be dealt with at a later date, Blunt added.
"We have the FY17 defense bill," Blunt said, noting it is the top priority
of Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and could be used as a vehicle to pass bills
funding other federal departments.
"All of the committees, House and Senate leaderships, are working together
to try to finalize the rest of the FY17 bill," he added. "My guess is that
comes together better without the supplemental." |
