Trump Meets Privately With Schumer on Gateway Funds, ACA Credits and ICE

The unannounced session followed Trump’s freeze on roughly $18 billion for New York transit projects.

Overview

  • Schumer urged Trump to promptly release already-secured Gateway Program funding, and the White House offered no immediate comment on the meeting.
  • Schumer pressed for Senate Republican support for a three-year extension of Affordable Care Act premium tax credits that passed the House.
  • Trump unveiled a GOP healthcare framework the same day that would route federal aid into Health Savings Accounts rather than renewing the lapsed premium subsidies.
  • Schumer asked Trump to pull back ICE operations in U.S. cities, arguing that recent raids are terrorizing communities and putting people at risk.
  • The private meeting was not disclosed until after it ended, and there was no public indication that the Gateway funding freeze or immigration enforcement posture had changed.
