Trump Says He's 'Looking Hard' At Bipartisan Infrastructure Plan Of '1 To 2 Trillion Dollars'

2019-05-04 35

President Trump tweeted about the infrastructure plan on Saturday.

President Trump has said he is "looking hard at a bipartisan plan of 1 to 2 trillion dollars. Badly needed!" 
He made the comment in a Saturday morning tweet which he prefaced by saying, "There is nothing easy about a USA Infrastructure Plan, especially when our great Country has spent an astounding 7 trillion dollars in the Middle East over the last 19 years." 
The post comes after a Tuesday meeting where he met with top Democrats Nancy Pelosi, the House Speaker, and Chuck Schumer, the Senate Minority leader, about the country's need for new and repaired roads, bridges, and related projects. 
The outcome seemed to be positive, with Pelosi saying afterwards: "We were very pleased with the positive attitude toward recognizing the trillions of dollars of need. Now we have an opportunity to work together in a bipartisan way."
However, some Republicans have voiced their concerns about how such an expensive plan would be funded.
