House of Representatives Votes for Government Re-opening

But none of the measures approved by the House of Representatives included the $5 billion required by President Donald Trump, for the wall along the southern United States border, which will certainly not be approved in the Republican-controlled Senate and will almost certainly face President Trump's veto, reports VOA.

The idea of measures is to reopen the government while the wall issue is left for separate negotiations.

President Trump has invited Congress leaders for another meeting at the White House on Friday to discuss the ways of reopening the government, whose partial closure is entering the third week.

Wednesday's talks led nowhere since both sides insisted: President Trump asking $5 billion for the wall and Democrats saying no, not a penny.

“NBC News. “How many times must we say no? Nothing about wall”.

Pelosi accused President Trump of holding the federal government hostage because of his promise during the campaign to build the wall he had said would pay Mexico.

This is ridiculous. Sub a: Mexico is not paying for it and under b: we can have a better use of funds to preserve borders. The president knows this”, Pelosi said.

Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell named the <x0 political subservary” the laws adopted by the House of Representatives.

Until President Trump used the word “veto”, that's what other White House officials did. One official said the president has told the democratic leaders that he would appear to be the recipient if he were to end the government's closure.

President Trump blames the Democrats for the current situation.

The government's “closure is only about 2020 presidential elections”, he wrote on Twitter Thursday. The “Democrats know they can't win because of all of Trump's achievements, so they're focused on the desperately needed wall and border safety... for them it's just political”.

President Trump said the country needs protection and warned that crime, drugs and gangs are flocking to the United States from Mexico.

He said more than 35 million illegal immigrants are in the United States falling in opposition to experts claiming that this number is much smaller.

Meanwhile, 800 thousand federal employees have been taken home or work for free already two weeks.

Loggers are growing up in national parks, which are officially closed, as well as most of Washington's best tourist attractions.
