Congress’ Spending Bill Largely Ignores Trump’s Wall Demands

Description

Congress' spending bill, which must be passed by Friday at midnight to avoid a government shutdown, contains no funding for Donald Trump's wall - at least not the kind the president described during his campaign. As of now, the legislation includes just under $1.6 billion for increased border security and directs roughly 92 miles of border barriers to be built or replaced.

The Secure the Border Act of 2023, which advanced from the Republican-led House of Representatives on a roughly party-line 219-213 vote, would reintroduce several signature Trump-era measures, from completing the wall to bolstering asylum restrictions.

John Bolton On Trump's Defense Bill Veto: 'For God's Sakes, Get Out Of The Way'

Former national security adviser John Bolton didn't mince words after US President Donald Trump vetoed the annual bill to fund the US military. Trump's chief complaint with the bill is that it called for the renaming of military bases named after Confederate military figures. The must-pass, $741 billion bill was passed with widespread bipartisan support. According to Business Insider, Bolton told Trump to 'get out of the way,' and said Trump was 'not a conservative.' Trump's former national security adviser also described Trump's 'destructive' veto as a 'purely gratuitous action' and 'selfish.' There's very little you can do to repair your reputation, but for God's sakes, get out of the way of the national security of the US and get out of the way of our efforts to overcome the pandemic.
