Republicans say discussions, no DACA deal

Republican leaders in the U.S. Congress are now saying there were only discussions on what to do about DACA, but no deal was crafted between U.S. President Donald Trump and the Democratic leadership.

Before leaving for Florida, U.S. President Donald Trump said Speaker Ryan and Seate Majority Leader McConnell were on board, but after phone calls during the flight, he changed his tune and said there would only be a deal if construction of a wall was included.

DACA stands for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, and is a program intended to provide work and study permits for young people who were brought to the US without proper immigration papers.
