Trump, Democrats discuss $US2 trillion infrastructure plan
READ MORE
Schumer told reporters that Trump did not rule out tax increases – an idea many Republicans are loath to embrace, especially with an election around the corner – but offered no specifics.
“The ball is in their court,” Schumer said. “We told him that, it was repeated over and over again, that unless he is willing to come up with the pay-fors for this large package, it will never get done, and he agreed. And so we agreed to meet in three weeks, the same group, and they would present what their pay-fors would be, and I thought that was encouraging.”
Before the meeting, White House counsellor Kellyanne Conway told reporters that Trump had not endorsed the idea of paying for infrastructure with an increase in the federal petrol tax, a move backed by some Democrats and business groups, including the US Chamber of Commerce.
“There are many different ways to pay for it,” she said. “You could have private-public partnerships. I know the Democrats will want to raise taxes. They want to raise taxes for everything.”
Democrats have suggested paying for infrastructure by rolling back the Republican tax cuts that Trump signed into law in 2017.
