Congress Reaches $19.1 Billion Disaster Aid Deal After Trump Caves On Border Funding
in February, and $304 in Community Development Block Grant funding to rebuild homes and infrastructure.
The Puerto Rico dispute was resolved in recent weeks, but talks hit a new impasse when Trump demanded the bill contain security funding for agencies policing the US-Mexican border. That package would also have contained aid for humanitarian programs supporting asylum seekers moving across the border, but Democrats opposed the added border security funding.
As recently as Wednesday evening it appeared a deal would not be reached before Congress left town and took Memorial Day week off. But a deal came together Thursday when Trump agreed to drop his border security demands. The bill is expected to pass the Senate Thursday afternoon and then the House Thursday or Friday, allowing Trump to sign it into law by the end of the week.
The deal represents yet another funding victory for Democrats, who have consistently managed to prevent Trump’s border priorities from getting into spending bills.
