President Donald Trump canceled a planned meeting with Democratic congressional leaders, he announced on social media Tuesday.
Trump said that “after reviewing the details of the unserious and ridiculous demands being made by the Minority Radical Left Democrats in return for their Votes to keep our thriving Country open, I have decided that no meeting with their Congressional Leaders could possibly be productive.”
It comes one day after POLITICO reported that the president would meet with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries as a government shutdown looms.
Trump decided to cancel the meeting after House GOP leadership relayed their concerns about it to the White House, according to two people granted anonymity to describe private conversations.
