Hakeem Jeffries, since his return to the White House. “I have decided that no meeting with their Congressional Leaders could possibly be productive,” Trump wrote in the post.

Jeffries posted on X that “Trump Always Chickens Out.”“Donald Trump just cancelled a high stakes meeting in the Oval Office with myself and Leader Schumer,” Jeffries wrote on X. Democrats refused to support the stopgap bill because it did not include their priorities of health care funds.
