WASHINGTON (KMOX) — Missouri Republican Senator Roy Blunt seems fine with the nearly $1.4 billion amount of funding for a southern border wall.
That's despite the fact that the compomise he helped negotiate with Democrats to avoid another government shutdown is far less than what President Donald Trump wanted.
"We can have a fight here about how much is the perfect amount of money or we can settle on this for now and help the President find other money that can be repurposed and used," Blunt stated to KMOX's Mark Reardon Tuesday.
"It's not what I would have like to have had, or the President, but let's see what he says."
Blunt says the nearly $1.4 billion for a "see-through" physical barrier is adequate.
