House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday said there would not be any money for President Donald Trump's proposed wall along the U.S.-Mexico border in the deal being worked out by a bipartisan negotiating team.
"There's not going to be any wall money in the legislation," the top House Democrat told reporters, adding that more ports of entry or additional border technology was on the table for negotiation.
Trump has demanded a $5.7 billion down payment for his promised wall.
Pelosi rejected as a "Nonstarter" Trump's offer of a temporary three-year protection for "Dreamer" immigrants in exchange for a permanent wall.
It did not include money for a wall or any type of new physical border barriers.
Pelosi criticized a series of Thursday morning tweets in which Trump said the negotiators were "Wasting their time" and he would build the wall on his own.
"I've got you covered. Wall is already being built, I don't expect much help!" Trump wrote.
