Leader Schumer Statement On Donald Trump Cancelling Meeting With Democratic Leadership
Washington, D.C. - Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) today released the following statement after Donald Trump reversed himself and abruptly cancelled a bipartisan meeting with Democratic Leadership in the Oval Office to discuss looming government funding deadline. Leader Schumer is still committed to bipartisan talks to keep the government open and serve the American people.
"Trump is running away from the negotiating table before he even gets there. While Americans face rising costs and a Republican healthcare crisis, Trump would rather throw a tantrum than do his job. Democrats are ready to work to avoid a shutdown - Trump and Republicans are holding America hostage. Donald Trump will own the shutdown."
