White House Considering Executive Action For Wall Even If Trump Signs Deal

• https://www.zerohedge.com, By Tyler Durden

Separately, Trump is keeping the door open to declaring a national emergency to fund the wall. 

President Trump has not yet decided if he'll support a bipartisan congressional border security deal which provides just $1.375 billion for 55 new miles of border fencing in Texas's Rio Grande Valley area - far short of the $5.7 billion Trump has demanded for his signature campaign promise, reports Bloomberg, citing an administration official. 

While the agreement falls short of Trump's requested figure, the new deal also eliminates caps that Democrats sought on how many border crossers could be detained after being apprehended in the US. 

In order to avert another partial government shutdown, the new proposal still has to be written into legislation, pass both chambers of Congress, and Trump has to agree to it before Friday night.
