While details of Trump’s new offer have not yet been released, Congress is already rejecting his new offer.

“This is not a compromise as it includes the same wasteful, ineffective $5.7 billion wall demand that shut down the government in the first place,” explained a senior Democratic Party House aide.

“This cannot pass the House or Senate,” the aide added.

A Democratic congressional aide also spoke to Politico.

“Dems were not consulted on this and have rejected similar overtures previously. It’s clearly a Republican-and-Republican negotiation,” the congressional aide said.

Trump’s announcement was scheduled for 3 p.m. eastern, but has been pushed back to 4 p.m.
