President Trump's funding request for a border wall will likely be put on hold, Senate Republican leaders signaled Tuesday.
Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), a senior member of the Appropriations Committee, announced at a leadership press conference that Trump's supplemental funding request will wait until later in the year.
He said the Senate and House leadership are very close to negotiating a bill to fund government for the rest of 2017.
Adding a supplemental spending bill requested by Trump to pay for military activities and a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border would complicate the talks and should be dealt with at a later date, Blunt added.
"We have the FY17 defense bill," Blunt said, noting it is the top priority of Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and could be used as a vehicle to pass bills funding other federal departments.

Hmph, they’ve been stalling since before he took office. He ran on action, doing things.
The easiest thing to do in Washington is to make nothing happen. And they can make nothing happen for as long as they need to.
I wonder if the red states declaring war on the blue states would be enough to get DC’s attention?
We’ve gone along for decades with their insane printing of money for all of their cockamamie bullsh!t projects and boondoggles. Now all we want is some pocket change for a wall and it is no dice. A curse on their heads and the children’s children. GD their RINO hides.
President Trump’s funding request for a border wall will likely be put on hold,>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
NO! NO! NO!
Get out the Vero pen. No wall, no government
As I said before, there are simple solutions:
1. It’s estimated that the wall will cost each of us about $150. I’m ready to write a check for that.
2. A gofundme campaign.
3. A tax credit for a donation to the “build the wall” fund.
Trump’s only option may be, with the JCS, to dissolve the federal government completely. Let the states run things independently except for the military and the border. Yes, it is that bad.
Oh look, the Cruzlims are back.
Guess what, Teddy still lost big time, and Trump has still accomplished more conservative change in 60 days than St. Ted of Calgary did over his entire life.
Allow me to rub your nose in it.
Lol. So true. I don’t know what I’m going to get from POTUS in these historic battles. But I do know what conservatives will get with Cruz and the kamikaze caucus: nothing.
I guess the Pubs are tired of winning already.
You are so right. We won this election with that passion. We do not just go away. Trump made a horrible mistake on rinocare but I think he learned. He is not a government theoretician. He is doing his best. We must cut him much slack at this time.He must get rid of Rinse Penis!! and Paul RINO! God Bless Donald Trump!! BUILD THE WALL NOW!!
Yeah, me too, and as of this moment he's still here, but I smell ozone.
I haven’t the foggiest idea of what your point is. Worse, I’m almost certain your beeber is set to stune, and a moose once bit your sister.
This is a direct quote from Blunt not seen in the excerpted part of Hill article.
“I would suspect the border wall is in the supplemental,” Blunt said.
Can’t repeal 0bamacare.
Can’t build a wall.
Can’t .....
This, here, is what you call a Bridge Too Far.
How many ml are left in your bottle?
If I were Trump, I’d veto the bill until the Senate coughed up the money
^^^^^THIS!!!
Oh, you wackos.
I’ve been telling you the April 28 CR will show you what’s what, and what it particularly what is that the chest beating Freedom Caucus is going to vote for a bill that fully funds Obamacare, including Planned Parenthood AND healthcare for illegals. That will all be in the CR.
And those FC hypocrites will vote for it. They already did for the present CR.
They’re all bitches and whores and ####suckers and pieces of #### and their mothers where whores before them and their mothers before them.
The big FOCUS should be on winning primaries against these mother ####ers.
Get the states to change the rules...no more open, and no more cutting our own throats with 3 guys running against each other.
And if the dems put up a “libertarian” we put up a “worker’s party” candidate.
I can’t envision pulling the lever for an R besides Trump for the foreseeable future.
#### em.
Might as well deal with dems. At least they didn’t vote to repeal obamacare 4000 times until the chance actually came.
At least we’ll know we’re dealing with leftists instead of pretend constitutionalists.
the gopes can fund obamacare forever with what—50 billion a year and going up fast, but a billion or two for the wall to save the nation, no way.
they are the enemy.
