The Daily 202: Trump’s go-it-alone approach to foreign policy angers allies, benefits adversaries
-- The Congressional Budget Office said Trump’s proposed budget for 2019 would result in significantly higher deficits over the next decade than the White House estimated. “The difference comes partly from CBO’s belief that the tax bill signed into law last year will not create as much revenue as the White House has promised,” Erica Werner notes.
- The Department of Health and Human Services lost track of nearly 1,500 migrant children it placed with sponsors in the United States. The New York Times's Ron Nixon reports that this disclosure from a top official there raised “concerns they could end up in the hands of human traffickers or be used as laborers by people posing as relatives. The official, Steven Wagner, the acting assistant secretary of the agency’s Administration for Children and Families, disclosed during testimony before a Senate homeland security subcommittee that the agency had learned of the missing children after placing calls to the people who took responsibility for them when they were released from government custody. The children were taken into government care after they showed up alone at the Southwest border. Most of the children are from Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala, and were fleeing drug cartels, gang violence and domestic abuse, government data shows.”
