WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is denying he conceded anything by agreeing to reopen government for three weeks and says he’ll try again to persuade lawmakers to fund his border wall plan.
I wish people would read or listen to my words on the Border Wall. This was in no way a concession. It was taking care of millions of people who were getting badly hurt by the Shutdown with the understanding that in 21 days, if no deal is done, it’s off to the races!

Under intense pressure, Trump has signed legislation funding shuttered agencies until Feb. 15. The deal he reached with congressional leaders contains no new money for the wall but ends the longest shutdown in U.S. history.
