After his actions once more drew the ire of Republican Party members, President Donald Trump has denied assertions that he has struck a deal with Democratic leaders.
On Wednesday, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer met with President Trump in an attempt to reach a consensus about the future of nearly 800,000 juvenile illegal immigrants – commonly referred to as Dreamers – who crossed the United States’ border as children.
The national debt ceiling was the subject of the last deal, whereas the latest agreement focussed on the so-called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), an Obama-era policy that is vehemently opposed by Republicans on Capitol Hill.
According to statements made shortly after the bipartisan meeting, deliberations were very successful and the opposing parties were able to make a deal that will protect the Dreamers as well as divert funds towards additional security measures – excluding Trump’s infamous wall – along the U.S. – Mexico border.
