US government shutdown hits record length with no end seen

Live Mint  

The US government shutdown over President Donald Trump’s demand for border wall funding became the longest in the modern era as it stretched into its 22nd day Saturday with no end in sight. After Pelosi said she wouldn’t provide funding for a border wall even if Trump reopened the government, the president said “bye bye,” in his words, and left the room -- a signature negotiating tactic for the former real estate developer and reality TV show star. “I think he’s got to do it.” ‘Emergency NOW’ After meeting with Trump on Friday, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said it was clear to him and the president that “Democrats don’t want to make a deal and will never support border wall/barriers.” The only option, Graham tweeted, was for Trump to “declare a national emergency NOW.” House Democrats as well as a smattering of Republicans voted this week in favor of bills to reopen portions of the government. In the Democrats’ weekly address, Representative Scott Peters, who represents a district in San Diego County, California, outlined border security measures such as radar and surveillance via drones, and said “let’s re-open the government and talk about these ideas.” Republican Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana has floated a plan for Trump to tap monies seized from drug cartels to pay for the construction of a border wall.
