What happened
No infrastructure bill was introduced in the first 100 days or passed at any point in the term. A $1 trillion plan was rolled out in June 2017 and a $1.5 trillion version in February 2018; neither advanced. Talks with congressional Democrats collapsed on May 22, 2019, when Trump walked out of a White House meeting. "Infrastructure Week" became a recurring joke in Washington.
