Trump said Friday he will back a short-term funding bill to reopen the government that does not include funds to construct a wall along the southern border.
“I am very proud to announce today that we have reached a deal to end the shutdown and re-open the federal government,” Trump said.
The president said he would sign a bill that would open the government for three weeks. In that period, he said, a bipartisan committee of House and Senate lawmakers will meet to develop a funding proposal for Homeland Security.
