Democrats say Trump agrees to $2 trillion tab

-

President Donald Trump and Democratic congressio­nal leaders agreed Tuesday to work together on a $2 trillion infrastruc­ture package — but put off for later the difficult question of how to pay for it.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said there was “good will in the meeting” a marked departure from the last meeting between Trump, Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, which ended with Trump walking out in a huff. Schumer said the two sides agreed that infrastruc­ture investment­s create jobs and make the United States more competitiv­e economical­ly with the rest of the world.
