President Trump backs down on border wall funding
President Donald Trump has indicated that he will ditch plan to find cash his border wall in this week's spending bill. According to Trump's adviser, Kellyanne Conway said funding for the border wall would be left out a budget measure that must pass by Friday. In the Presidential election campaign, Trump promised that for building the wall would be paid by Mexico. But Democrats had threatened to block the bill if money was embarked for the wall, so its omission may now avert a government shutdown.
