What the record showed
His February 2018 proposal of $200 billion in federal money meant to leverage $1.5 trillion stalled in Congress. An April 30, 2019 meeting with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer on a $2 trillion package produced no agreement after he conditioned it on passing USMCA and ending investigations. No major infrastructure bill became law during his first term.
