TIL Desk/World/Washington/ Democratic congressional leaders — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer — said they have agreed to seek a deal with President Donald Trump on a 2-trillion-US-dollar infrastructure package.
“We agreed on a number, which was very, very good, 2 trillion dollars for infrastructure,” Schumer said on Tuesday. “This was a very, very good start …We hope it will go to a constructive conclusion.” Pelosi said both sides had “come to one agreement: that the agreement would be big and bold.”
However, they said the Democrats and the White House have not yet agreed on how to pay for the 2-trillion-dollar package to revive the country’s infrastructure, including roads, bridges, waterways and broadband.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders issued a statement after the meeting, saying the two sides “had an excellent and productive” discussion about rebuilding the nation’s infrastructure. She didn’t mention the bill expenditure and no congressional Republicans were invited to Tuesday’s gathering.
