U.S. President Donald Trump abruptly walked out of a meeting with top Democratic lawmakers at the White House Wednesday after they again refused his demand for funding to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border to thwart illegal immigration.
川普总统周三在与民主党高层议员的白宫会议中愤然离席，因为民主党议员再次拒绝了为他在美墨边境修建阻止非法移民的隔离墙提供资金。
Trump on Twitter called his brief discussions with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer “a total waste of time.”
川普在推特上称同众议院议长南希·佩洛西和参议院民主党领袖查克·舒默的简短会谈“完全是浪费时间。”
The president said he asked them whether they would approve a wall or a steel barrier at the border if he agreed to end the 19-day partial government shutdown and while negotiations on border security are held over the next 30 days. But when “Nancy said, ‘NO.’ I said, ‘Bye-bye,’ nothing else works!”
川普表示，他问他们，如果他同意结束联邦政府为期19天的部分关闭，并在接下来的30天内就边境安全问题进行谈判，他们是否会批准在边境修建隔离墙或钢筋屏障。但是当南希说，“不。”我说，“再见，那就没别的办法了。”
