US President Donald Trump has attacked Democrats for rejecting his proposals to end the longest government shutdown in US history.

He said his plans had been dismissed before he had even presented them.

Mr Trump had offered “compromises” in exchange for funding for his security wall along the Mexican border, the issue that has caused the shutdown.

But Democrats called the proposals “unacceptable”, a “non-starter” and “hostage taking”.

There were two main offers in an address Mr Trump made on Saturday:

-Some 700,000 so-called Dreamers, who were young when they entered the US illegally with their parents, would be protected for another three years
-Some 300,000 people holding visas under Temporary Protection Status (TPS) would also get three years’ protection. These are people who have fled countries affected by war or disasters
