WASHINGTON (AP) – President Donald Trump told House Republicans he was “1,000 percent” with them on rival immigration bills up for votes, but it was not clear if he had a preference on how to handle family separations at the border.
That’s according to people who were in the closed-door session, who requested anonymity to discuss the private meeting.
“We had a great meeting,” Trump told reporters as he left the Capitol with Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif.
Those in the meeting the Capitol basement say Trump discussed various topics, including his recent historic trip to North Korea.
On immigration, they say Trump told them: “I am behind you so much. We need the wall.”
