Trump, Nancy Pelosi 'agree' on rebuilding US infrastructure
President Trump, in an exclusive interview with FOX Business, said he would like to work with Democrats on infrastructure.
“The easiest thing is infrastructure,” he told Maria Bartiromo. “They want it, I want it”
Infrastructure is vital to a robust economy. But the current systems were built decades ago and are in dire need of repair.
Trump said he spoke with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi about it “the other day” and she told him they “very strongly want to do infrastructure.”
“We agree on it. We even like the type,” he said. “We like the type of infrastructure we’re talking about. Maybe in a certain way more Democrats, from my standpoint, than the Republican concept, private, public. I like, frankly, owning our own roads, owning our bridges. I don’t like selling them to other countries.”
Trump would also like to see a bipartisan effort on immigration.
