President Donald Trump says he wants to work with Democrats to pass legislation to rebuild U.S. infrastructure.
A spokesman for Pelosi tells CNBC that the speaker and Trump briefly spoke about infrastructure during an annual St. Patricks Day luncheon on March 14.
Trump says he and Democrats agree on the issue, and even that we like the type of infrastructure were talking about.
President Donald Trump said he wants to work with Democrats to pass legislation to rebuild U.S. infrastructure, a long-held goal of his administration that has yet to materialize.
Trump, in an interview with Fox Business Network that aired Friday, said infrastructure is the easiest thing his White House can hope to achieve by working with Democrats.
They want it, I want it, Trump said, adding that he spoke to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi the other day about the issue.
A spokesman for Pelosi confirmed to CNBC that the speaker and Trump briefly spoke about infrastructure during an annual St. Patricks Day luncheon on March 14.
The Speaker has repeatedly said she wants to work with him on this issue, added the spokesman, who declined to comment further on the details of the private conversation.
Trump went further in the interview, which was conducted Thursday, saying we agree on it and we like the type of infrastructure were talking about.
The president added: Maybe in a certain way more Democrats, from my standpoint, than the Republican concept, private, public. I like, frankly, owning our own roads, owning our bridges. I dont like selling them to other countries.

And also, never Infrastructure Week.
Infrastructure Week sort of escapes all bounds of time and space.
It's like Heaven, or Valhalla, or....um......Canada.
