WASHINGTON ¨C Democrats on Tuesday withdrew an offer to fund U.S. President Donald Trump¡¯s border wall, as tough negotiations over the future of young illegal immigrants resumed in the Senate.
A day after the end of a government shutdown linked to wrangling over immigration, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said he pulled the offer because of what he said was Trump¡¯s failure to follow through on the outlines of an agreement the two men discussed last Friday.
¡°So we¡¯re going to have to start on a new basis and the wall offer is off the table,¡± Schumer told reporters.
