Если кратко, it's dead.

Если чуть подробнее.

Сенатор Lankford, главный переговорщик от республиканцев:

Reporter asks Lankford how it feels to be run over by a bus. Lankford replies: “And backed up.”

Сенатор Murphy, главный переговорщик от демократов:

I asked Sen. Murphy if there’s any hope for the border deal in the Senate.

“No,” he said flat out.

“Republicans have definitively sided with Donald Trump. They've decided they want to keep chaos at the border because it is a political winner for them”

Еще Murphy:

There’s nobody in charge. There’s no ability to follow a plan. We did everything they said and they abandoned it before they even read the bill. So I don’t know. This is admittedly a scary situation...

There is somebody in charge though. Liz Chenye gets it. As does anybody else who is not willfully stupid.

On Trump’s orders, Republicans in Congress are rejecting the border security deal. They’re also abandoning America’s allies in Ukraine. Trump and the GOP are losing the war on purpose in an inexcusable betrayal that will strengthen America’s enemies for years to come. https://t.co/j8YbfyS87Y
