Democratic leaders reached an agreement with President Donald Trump in the White House on Tuesday about an investment of 2 trillion dollars (1784 billion euros) in American infrastructure.
This enormous financial injection is needed to eliminate overdue maintenance and for the significant expansion of the facilities.
“We agreed on an outstanding amount,” said Senator Chuck Schumer. According to him, it shows that the generally hostile political camps are willing to work together for a purpose that goes beyond party interests.
In this case, it is about improving the national road network, bridges, rail links, waterways and access to lightning fast internet.
The President of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi added that, while Parliamentarians and Trump have agreed to a “big and bold” plan, the Democrats now want to see where the needed money will come from.
