WASHINGTON–House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Jan. 31 there would not be any money for President Donald Trump’s proposed wall along the U.S.–Mexico border in the deal being worked out by a bipartisan negotiating team.

“There’s not going to be any wall money in the legislation,” Pelosi said, adding that more ports of entry or additional border technology was on the table for negotiation.
