In the United States, once is not customary, Donald Trump and the opposition have reached an agreement.

It remains to be found ways to finance this ambitious project of $ 2 trillion.
With our correspondent in Washington, Anne Corpet
For once, both sides set their differences aside. And it is all smiles at the end of his meeting with the president, that the leader of the Democratic majority in the room evoked his meeting with Donald Trump.
" The meeting with the President of the United States was very productive. We agree on a big bold project and we agreed to meet again to find ways to fund it, "said Pelosi.
Because it is an ambitious plan concocted by the White House with the opposition. The renovation of the country's infrastructure is one of the few topics on which the president and the Democrats can agree.
$ 2 trillion for infrastructure
" First we agreed that infrastructure is crucial to America's future, we agree that they create jobs, they make us more competitive. . We have reached agreement on the $ 2 trillion infrastructure figure , "said Chuck Schumer, the leader of the Democratic minority in the Senate.
But it will be necessary to convince the Senate to unblock this important sum, and it is not won. But the important thing for both the president and the democratic opposition was to show that beyond their permanent conflicts, it is possible for them to work together.
