Washington (AFP) – President Donald Trump on Friday offered temporary protection for people illegally brought to the US as children and other groups of immigrants facing deportation, in exchange for funding for his controversial border wall.
But Trump’s proposal to end the 29-day partial shutdown of the US government, which was sparked by a dispute over funding for the wall, appeared dead on arrival, with the top Democrat in Congress rejecting the proposal based on reports of its contents prior to the speech.
