ANALYSIS — President Donald Trump’s recent verbal swipes at congressional Democratic leaders could complicate closing a deal on the opposition party’s demands for immigration enforcement changes.
White House officials and Trump himself had said after a deal was struck late last year to end a lengthy government shutdown that he and Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer would negotiate largely with each other on a package of possible enforcement changes.
But White House officials and aides to Schumer on Monday afternoon and Tuesday were mum about whether the longtime rivals were slated to have a telephone or in-person conversation this week.
