A meeting between President Donald Trump and Democratic leaders on Friday included so many expletives that Trump later apologized to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, an official familiar with the incident told The Washington Post on Friday.
The meeting sought to break the impasse between Trump and Democratic leaders over funding for the president’s proposed wall at the US-Mexico border.
The contentious gathering comes amid a partial government shutdown, now stretching past its second week, after Trump stressed he would not sign any short-term funding bill that did not include funding for his wall — despite a bipartisan group of House members passing two bills that would extend funding and buy Congress more time.
