Washington sources reported that President Donald Trump is ready to sign a border security funding deal, despite failing to get anywhere close to the money he sought for a US Mexico border wall. Meanwhile CNN and NBC television quoted sources close to the president saying that Trump has resigned himself to the deal crafted by his Republican Party and the Democrats in Congress.



Reportedly White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders would not confirm or deny the reports, but said Wednesday that "there are positive pieces" in the deal. She told "We want to see the final piece of legislation”. Accordingly Trump had demanded $5.7 billion for a dramatic extension of fences and walls along the Mexican border, claiming that the United States faces an "invasion" of criminals and illegal immigrants.

Moreover Trump retaliated in December by cutting funding to swaths of government in a five week shutdown. Apparently he had threatened to trigger a new shutdown this Friday if his demands were not met. Reports added the deal worked out in Congress this week will provide less than $1.4 billion for wall construction. Moreover Trump says he can still add to that from other sources not requiring congressional approval, although he has been vague about how this would work.
