Trump: Democrats Gave Iran $150bln but Can’t Give $5bln For National Security

BATTLE FOR WORLD / SPUTNIK NEWS – December 13, 2018: The article highlights the US president has recently been trying to convince the Congress to allocate funding for building a wall on the border between the US and Mexico, but have had little success, failing to gather the necessary votes from Democrats.

President Donald Trump unhappy about the matter criticized the Democratic Party on Twitter over its reluctance to allocate money for building the border wall from the US budget. Trump used the $150 billion dollars that former President Barack Obama allegedly gave Iran as an argument to convince the Democrats to spare $5 billion for the construction of the wall.

The Democrats and President Obama gave Iran 150 Billion Dollars and got nothing, but they can’t give 5 Billion Dollars for National Security and a Wall?
