The majority leader in the Senate, Republican Mitch McConnell offered to hold a vote to temporarily solve the problem of partial closing of the government, which has continued for more than a month.
He put to the vote the proposal of the Democrats on funding the government for three weeks without allocating 5.7 billion for the construction of the border wall. President Donald trump, made in the House of representatives against this decision.
Earlier, McConnell declared that he would not consider the bill on the state budget, which trump will refuse to sign.
