WORLD IN BRIEF
turns sitting behind her in support. The Office
of the House Historian said it was the longest
continuous speech in the chamber on record.
“You see, these people are being deported,”
Pelosi said around hour six. “We can do some-
thing today to at least make whole the children.”
Her remarks seemed partly aimed at the lib-
eral wing of Pelosi’s own party, who seethed
as Senate Democrats cut a budget deal with
Republicans that could quickly steal the
momentum behind the effort to resolve the
Dreamers’ plight.
The wide-ranging budget accord says noth-
ing about renewing the Obama-era Deferred
Action for Childhood Arrivals program, called
DACA, which temporarily shields Dreamers —
hundreds of thousands of immigrants brought
to the country as children and living here ille-
gally — from deportation. President Donald
Trump has moved to annul DACA.

US says attack on
Syrian forces was
an act of self-defense
BEIRUT — Syrian state-run media said
today a rare U.S. strike on government-backed
troops in eastern Syria killed and wounded doz-
ens of tribal fighters, calling it a new effort “to
support terrorism.”
The U.S.-led coalition said its action was in
“self-defense,” citing a major attack on its allied
forces and U.S. advisers in Deir el-Zour prov-
ince by at least 500 fighters, battle tanks, howit-
zers and mortars.
The overnight attack, which a U.S. mili-
tary official earlier said killed about 100 of the
attackers, added another layer to the Syrian con-
flict that is once again plunging into a new and
unpredictable spiral of violence.
The attack in Deir el-Zour province in north-
eastern Syria occurred in crowded battle space.
A stronghold of Islamic State militants until
late last year, the province also was the group’s
main source of oil revenue. U.S.-backed Kurd-
ish-led forces have been fighting for control of
Deir el-Zour with rival Russian-backed Syrian
troops that are reinforced by Iranian-supported
militias.
The U.S.-backed forces control areas east of
the Euphrates River and most of the oil and gas
fields, while government forces are based in the
west. Previous friction was reported before, but
Wednesday’s incident appeared to be the largest
since last year. The IS militants have been dis-
persed in the province, which also has a number
of U.S. bases.
Col. Thomas F. Veale said today that the coa-
lition reported to the Russians the buildup of the
pro-government forces in the area before the
attack, and communicated with them during and
after it. The Russian officials offered assurances
that they would not engage the coalition forces
in the area, Veale said.
Senate leaders’ budget
deal faces opposition
in both parties

a temporary funding measure to prevent a gov-

ernment shutdown at midnight. GOP leaders
moved to shore up support among conservatives
for a plan to shower the Pentagon and domes-
tic programs with an extra $300 billion over the
next two years.
The measure was a triumph for Republican
allies of the Pentagon and for Democrats seek-
ing more spending on infrastructure and fight-
ing opioid abuse.
But it represented a bitter defeat for many
liberal Democrats who sought to use the par-
ty’s leverage on the budget to resolve the plight
of immigrant “Dreamers” who face deportation
after being brought to the U.S. illegally as chil-
dren. The deal does not address immigration.
And some tea party Republicans shredded the
measure as a budget-buster.
Beyond the $300 billion figure, the agree-
ment adds $89 billion in overdue disaster aid for
hurricane-slammed Texas, Florida and Puerto
Rico, a politically charged increase in the gov-
ernment’s borrowing cap, and a grab bag of
health and tax provisions. Cotton growers and
dairy farmers would get relief courtesy of the
bipartisan leadership of the Senate Appropri-
ations Committee, while popular funding for
community health centers would be extended

The White House backed the deal — despite
President Donald Trump’s outburst a day ear-
lier that he’d welcome a government shutdown
if Democrats didn’t accept his immigration-lim-
iting proposals.
Pelosi speaks for
record 8 hours in
favor of ‘Dreamers’
WASHINGTON — House Minority Leader
Nancy Pelosi staged a record-breaking, eight-
hour speech in hopes of pressuring Republi-
cans to allow a vote on protecting “Dreamer”
immigrants — and to demonstrate to increas-
ingly angry progressives and Democratic activ-
ists that she has done all she could.
Wearing four-inch heels and forgoing any
breaks, Pelosi, 77, spent much of the rare talk-
athon Wednesday reading personal letters from
the young immigrants whose temporary pro-
tection from deportation is set to expire next
month. The California Democrat quoted from
the Bible and Pope Francis, as Democrats took
George W. Bush says
Russia meddled in
2016 US election
ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates — For-
mer President George W. Bush said today that
“there’s pretty clear evidence that the Russians
meddled” in the 2016 American presidential
election, forcefully rebutting fellow Republi-
can Donald Trump’s denials of Moscow trying
to affect the vote.
While never mentioning President Trump
by name, Bush appeared to be pushing back on
Trump’s attempts to have warmer relations with
Russia, as well as his comments on immigration.
The White House did not immediately com-
ment on Bush’s remarks. U.S. intelligence agen-
cies have concluded Russia meddled in the 2016
election to help Trump win. Numerous investi-
gations are under way to determine whether
Trump’s campaign aided the Kremlin in its
efforts.
Speaking of Russian President Vladimir
Putin, Bush called him “zero-sum.” He stressed
the need to back NATO and other alliances the
U.S. has with the world.
Bush also criticized Trump’s decision to
scrap a program implemented by former Presi-
dent Barack Obama’s administration that allows
young immigrants living in the U.S. illegally
who were brought here as children to remain in
America.
“America’s their home,” the 43rd American
president said. “They’ve got to get it fixed.”
