The White House has yet to detail specifics of the plan, but hopes to finance improvements using public-private partnerships.

"We've had no help, we will get no votes [from them]", Trump said before the media, adding that even if Republicans presented the greatest plan "in history" Democrats would still vote against it.

He added, "No longer will we sacrifice american jobs factory and wealth, theft of american prosperity has come to a screeching halt". "It is time to recapture our legacy as a nation of builders -and to create new lanes of travel, commerce and discovery that will take us into the future".

Trump also acknowledged the presence of Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin and his family. "I urge the administration, through the EO, to seize this opportunity to ensure that all federally funded infrastructure projects use materials produced in the United States". "Waterways, roads, and bridges are central to farmers' efforts to feed and fuel the world, and we must invest in all of them", said Hartman, a farmer from Waterloo, Illinois.

Trump said the families - one from OH and another from Kentucky - are going through "turmoil" along with millions of other consumers who are facing rising premiums and limited choices for health coverage under the 2010 law.

"President Trump will spur growth and investment in infrastructure by dramatically reducing permitting time for projects from 10 years to 2 years and slashing regulations to speed up the decision making process", the White House statement said. "The Republican senators are trying hard-the Democrats are really in our way".

And Trump replied to a reporter's question that he wishes Comey "good luck" during his Senate Intelligence Committee testimony.

Roger Stone, a longtime Trump political ally, acknowledged in a phone interview that recent events appear to show that the president increasingly is doing his own thing while his White House staff is executing what seems like a different plan.

In a speech delivered yesterday in Cincinnati, Ohio, President Trump spoke to his Administration's infrastructure plans for the United States, advocating for a $1 trillion to be spent on various aspects of roadways, air traffic, and related systems.

Rebuilding the nation's infrastructure was initially believed to have been supported by Republican and Democratic lawmakers.

Schumer said that after meeting with Trump, he seemed "willing" to work moving forward, and called on Republicans in both the House and the Senate to "get on board".

Trump is pointing to a government program that allows the private sector to tap into low-priced government loans called the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act as a way to leverage federal funds with state, local, and private sector funding.
