President Trump will hold individual meetings on Tuesday with two men who have consistently criticized his policies.
Trump will first sit down with Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., at 12:30 in the presidential dining room in the White House.
The two first butted heads during the campaign. Following the election, Graham continued to challenge some of Trump’s foreign policy stances. In late December, Graham said nearly the entire Senate disagreed with the then-president-elect’s statement that Russia did not try to meddle in the U.S. election.
At 4:30 p.m. local time, Trump will meet with Richard Trumka, president of the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations. The two first met a week before Trump’s inauguration. At the time, Trumka said their discussion was “very productive.”
Trumka has been a critic of Trump out of the concern he would reduce workers’ wages and change labor law.
On Feb. 1, the AFL-CIO said it had “serious concerns” about Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Judge Neil Gorsuch.
“We are deeply troubled that President Trump, who ran his campaign on being a friend to working people, has chosen his nominee from among a group vetted and approved by organizations like the Heritage Foundation and Federalist Society,” Trumka said in a statement.
