Trump and Democratic Leaders Can’t Even Agree on Their Talks to End the Shutdown

President Donald Trump and Democratic lawmakers aren't just far apart on how to end the partial government shutdown, they aren't even in agreement on their discussions about how to end it.

Trump said Friday's Oval Office meeting went "very, very well." But House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said the talks were contentious and Trump wouldn't budge on his demand for funding a border wall before reopening the government.
