The relationship between President Donald Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is «outstanding,» the president said Monday, refuting reports of the growing frustrations between the two powerful Republicans.

«My relationship with this gentleman is outstanding [and] has been outstanding.» Trump said.
McConnell later echoed Trump’s sentiment, and directly pushed back upon the rumors of discord among the pair.
«I think what the president and I would both like to say to you today, contrary to what some of you may have reported, we are together totally on this agenda to move America forward,» he said.
