Yesterday President Trump revealed in a tweet that today he would be making a “major announcement concerning the Humanitarian Crisis on our Southern Border and the shutdown”. Trump teased reporters by some details about his announcement to shift focus from the latest White House scandal involving Robert Mueller according to Vantiy Fair.
In Trump’s announcement, he proposed an idea to end the shutdown with an immigration deal which included a bill with temporary protection for undocumented immigrants and other measures for $5.7 billion in funding for the wall, according to Politico. The president’s solution was not favored by either party. Unfortunately the government is still shutdown leaving millions left to struggle. The shutdown has broken the record for the longest shutdown in history.
