Trump scoffed at the idea of striking a bipartisan two-year deal to ward off billions of dollars in spending cuts
President Donald Trump scoffed Thursday night at the idea of striking a bipartisan two-year deal to ward off billions of dollars in spending cuts.
While the proposal would increase discretionary spending to about $1.3 trillion for the upcoming fiscal year, the Trump administration contends that it would lead to nearly $2 trillion in spending increases over 10 years. McConnell said he talked to the president about the negotiations last week. But Trump administration officials maintain that the president is satisfied with letting the budget cuts take effect.
