Trump is using the funding, over which he has much control, to try to shore up his support in farm country, which has been hit hard by low commodity prices and higher tariffs he himself imposed. The battle prompted Trump on Friday to blast his nemesis on Twitter: Pelosi wants to take 30 Billion Dollars away from our great Farmers. Cant let that happen! Pelosi then reversed course Friday afternoon to briefly approve the Trump-sought change only to again change her mind, Democratic and GOP aides said, speaking on condition of anonymity to publicly characterize behind-the-scenes dealings. Pelosi was also seeking a higher food benefit for families whose children are unable to receive free or reduced lunches because schools are closed over the coronavirus. Its unclear what happens next, but Pelosi retains the option to try to jam the measure through without the farm provision and try to cast blame on Republicans or Trump if it runs aground in the Senate." This was supposed to be an agreed upon funding bill lol. --- Xbox Live User Name - Corrik Currently playing: Spider-Man (PS4), Quantum Break (X1) ... Copied to Clipboard! |
