President Donald Trump speaks at the Major County Sheriffs and Major Cities Chiefs Association Joint Conference in Washington, Wednesday, Feb. 13, 2019. (Susan Walsh/AP)WASHINGTON — The Latest on congressional border security negotiations and President Donald Trump (all times local):12:30 a.m.Congressional bargainers have completed a bipartisan border security compromise that gives President Donald Trump less than a quarter of the $5.7 billion he wanted to build a wall with Mexico. Summaries of the legislation say that besides nearly $1.4 billion to build new barriers, there’s over $1 billion for other border security programs. The deal would keep the government open, but provide just a fraction of the money Trump has been demanding for his border wall. Trump says he’s looking to supplement border wall funding with money from other parts of the government.
