U.S. Democrats to press Trump on paying for infrastructure boost

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said in a joint statement late on Tuesday that Trump in April had agreed to provide "ideas for pay-fors," a term used in Washington for new taxes or government spending reductions. The pair will be joined by other key Democrats in Congress, including those on committees overseeing infrastructure issues. The Democrats made no mention of Trump's demand on Tuesday that Congress first approve a new North American free trade deal before moving to infrastructure.
