“President Trump plans to offer Democrats another proposal to end the shutdown when he addresses the nation from the White House on Saturday afternoon,” CNN reports.
“Trump’s idea is to put something on the table to get Democrats to engage with negotiations. Trump is not expected to back down from his demand for a border wall, but the plan will seek to entice Democrats by offering other concessions.”
“However, this plan is not based on negotiations with Democrats and White House officials are pessimistic that it will change much in stalled talks, because Democrats have previously refused to counter the White House’s proposal.”
