Trump, top Democrats agree on goal of crafting $2 trillion infrastructure plan

Washington • Top Democrats emerged Tuesday from a meeting with President Donald Trump touting progress toward a $2 trillion infrastructure agreement — a rare moment of bipartisanship in a divided Washington, but one that both parties fear could evaporate quickly amid thorny financing questions and a poisonous political climate.

Leaving the White House after the morning meeting, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., both said Trump had embraced their vision of "big and bold" legislation to build roads, bridges, mass transit and high-speed communications links, as well as other desperately needed upgrades, and praised the productive tone of the discussions.
