A White House meeting with GOP lawmakers to discuss a $70 billion party-line immigration bill was canceled on Thursday amid uproar from Republicans over the Trump administration’s “anti-weaponization” fund and money for White House security upgrades.
The meeting was scrapped after the Senate postponed a vote on the party-line bill until after its Memorial Day recess, according to two sources familiar with the situation. The meeting was set to be attended by House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and a handful of Republican senators.
