“I don’t think the president wants to rein in spending at the cost of national security,' Senate Appropriations Chairman Richard Shelby said.
President Donald Trump seemed “pretty positive” Monday afternoon about the idea of striking a deal with Congress to prevent billions of dollars in sequestration cuts over the next two years, Senate Appropriations Chairman Richard Shelby said tonight.
“I thought it was a positive meeting. I’ve been to a lot of meetings that were not positive,” Shelby told reporters. “I don’t think the president wants to rein in spending at the cost of national security.“ “He’s in a powerful position with the president. I think he needed to be in there,” Shelby said, adding that Mulvaney mostly listened while the president spoke.
