President Trump said he will meet on Tuesday with the Democratic leaders of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi, to discuss keeping the government open. But, in a tweet, Trump cast doubt on whether they can agree to fund the government beyond a Dec. 8 deadline, saying: “I don’t see a deal!”
Trump said Democrats “want illegal immigrants flooding into our Country unchecked, are weak on Crime and want to substantially RAISE Taxes.”
Says Trump: “I don’t see a deal!” adding that Democrats “want illegal immigrants flooding into our Country unchecked, are weak on Crime and want to substantially RAISE Taxes.“
Meeting with “Chuck and Nancy” today about keeping government open and working. Problem is they want illegal immigrants flooding into our Country unchecked, are weak on Crime and want to substantially RAISE Taxes. I don’t see a deal!

And while the mid-December Bill market has already been turmoiling, Trump’s comments only led to more stress as the spread between 12/7 and 12/21 widening to 12bps after Trump cast doubt on whether he and congressional leaders can agree to keep the government funded.
