Democrats gave Donald Trump $1.375 billion for his border wall in a spending deal announced Monday that will keep the government from shutting down at the end of this week.
The amount is much less than the $8.6 billion the president requested to build his nearly 2,000 mile wall along the U.S.-Mexico border: $5 billion to build new barriers and $3.6 billion to backfill the money shifted from military construction projects last year.
'I'm pleased that we have reached a bipartisan agreement that will keep government open, provide the certainty of full-year funding, and make strong investments in key priorities for American communities,' said Rep. Nita Lowey, the Democratic chairwoman of the House Appropriations Committee.
