«Breaking News» 'They don't like concrete so we'll give them steel' Trump makes new offer to Dems on his border wall

President Donald Trump said Sunday he'll offer Democrats a 'steel barrier' instead of concrete wall because 'they don't like concrete so we'll give them steel.'

'We'll build a steel barrier,' he told reporters at the White House after he returned from a staff retreat at Camp David.

'It'll be less obtrusive and it'll be stronger,' he added. 

He said he was making the offer to Democrats because 'they don't like concrete so we'll give them steel.'

'Steel is actually more expensive than concrete but it'll look beautiful and it's very strong. It's actually stronger,' he added. 

President Trump said his border wall can be built of steel instead of concrete

Trump said he intends to call steel companies and ask them to design a template that can be used for his border wall

'We have an absolute crisis,' he said of the border.

Trump said earlier on Sunday his border wall can be built of steel instead of concrete if that will help Democrats come to terms in negotiations to reopen the government.

'The barrier or the wall can be steel instead of concrete if that helps people. It may be better,' the president said at the White House before he left for Camp David for a staff retreat. 

He said he plans to call steel companies to ask them for a design for his wall.

'I intend the call the heads of United States Steel and a couple of other of our great steel companies. I will have them come up with a template or design of a beautiful steel product, which we now may use and use that as our barrier,' he said. 

In his remarks the president touted how great U.S. steel companies were doing under his administration.

During the 2016 campaign Trump vowed to bring back steel jobs, a promise that helped him win manufacturing states like Pennsylvania. 

'This wall will pay for itself many times during the course of the year,' he vowed. 

Trump had once vowed to build a concrete border wall, but now says it will be made of steel slats. 

Acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney said on Sunday the construction materials could be changed in order to reach a compromise between Democrats and the president. 

'If he has to give up a concrete wall, replace it with a steel fence in order to do that so that Democrats can say, 'See? He's not building a wall anymore,' that should help us move in the right direction,' Mulvaney said on NBC's 'Meet the Press.'   

'Call it a wall, call it a fence, the president actually said he didn't care what you call it. He even offered to let the Democrats help him design something. He says as long as it's effective, he doesn't care what you call it. We need something to prevent people from coming into this country illegally,' Mulvaney said. 

Republican Sen. Susan Collins called the debate over construction material 'bizarre.'

'I've always thought that the debate over what the physical barrier should be constructed of was rather bizarre,' she said on NBC's 'Meet the Press.' 'We do need to strengthen our border security. We know that 90% of the heroin is coming across the southern border, along with human traffickers and a lot of unaccompanied children. That's not good either. But we need to look at more than just a physical barrier. We need to look at more border patrol agents, technology and other means as well.' 

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said any offer from the president would be discussed.

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said any offer from the president would be discussed

'It is an offer he made, and it'll be discussed,' he said on NBC's 'Meet the Press.' 'What we ought to do is open up the government first.'

Host Chuck Todd asked Hoyer: 'If it's a steel fence and he doesn't call it a wall, can you accept that?' 

'Chuck, let me say: We've done fencing in the past, as you know,' Hoyer said.

Todd pressed him to see if a fencing offer was on the table.  

'We've done fencing in the past,' Hoyer said. 

He added: 'The administration has not come up with any specific plan as to how they're going to spend this money.' 

During a meeting on Saturday with Vice President Pence, White House adviser Jared Kushner, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, and Mulvaney, Democrats pushed for details on how the president will spend the money he has requested. 

Democratic staffers asked administration officials to lay out in formal detail the funding request for the border - including its specific security requests, what the money would be used for, and what in the Homeland Security budget the administration would cut to make the numbers work, The Washington Post reported.

Mulvaney said the request could drag out negotiations.

'The discussion immediately turned to a bunch of technical requirements or technical requests that the Democrats were asking for the first time ever in these negotiations, so I think this is going to drag on a lot longer. I think that's, that's by, by intention,' he said on NBC's 'Meet the Press.' 

The group is reconvening Sunday afternoon as the government enters day 16 of a partial shutdown.

President Trump said he doesn't expect anything to come out of Sunday's meeting after Saturday's produced no movement toward reopening the government.

The president said 'very serious talks' would continue on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of the coming week.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
