less than the initial 1.6 bil agreed to in December and way less from the 5.7 bil Trump wanted but how come there was 55 miles of new wall? not sure whats going on.

The 1.6 had restrictions such that no new border fencing could be made. The 1.375 is for NEW wall/fence/call it what you want
The point is Trump got SOME wall without giving ANY concessions for immigration, Dems traded leverage for nothing yet again.
