参议院共和党领导人撤销10亿美元白宫安保拨款提议
Read, Watch or Listen
WASHINGTON. Senate Republican leaders this week moved to drop a proposed $1 billion security allocation for the White House complex and President Trump's planned ballroom after multiple GOP senators questioned the timing, cost and lack of detailed justification; the request had been tied to a roughly $70 billion bill to fund ICE and Border Patrol. Senators John Kennedy and Thom Tillis publicly cited insufficient votes as leaders, including Majority Leader John Thune, acknowledged ongoing vote and parliamentary issues on Wednesday; the Senate is seeking to pass the immigration-enforcement funding bill and send it to the House before a weeklong Memorial Day recess while leaving the contested security provision off the package.
