We’ll update as more develops. It looks like he wanted to remove their excuse for not negotiating. But then the concern is he also removing the pressure?

President Trump has endorsed a bipartisan deal that could end the 35-day partial government shutdown, making a way for a three-week stopgap funding measure to reopen shuttered agencies.

“I am very proud to announce today that we have reached a deal to end the shutdown and reopen the federal government,” Trump said in the White House Rose Garden.

The proposal backed by congressional leaders would fund the government through Feb. 15. The deal does not right now include funding for the wall along the Mexican border President Trump has pushed for, a House Democratic source says.

But that the three-week spending bill would would also include a deal to move forward on the longer-term Department of Homeland Security funding bill without any wall money. Federal employees who have been working without pay or are furloughed would also get back pay as part of the agreement. The Senate would vote first on the agreement, and Trump said he has instructed Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., to put it on the floor immediately.

Update:

At the end of the three weeks, if there’s no deal on the wall then there can be another shutdown, he declares a national emergency or finds another option.
