The once-promising possibility of cooperation between President Donald Trump and congressional Democrats on an effort to provide a face-lift to the nation’s infrastructure appears to have eroded even before it's started.
On Monday, Trump announced a plan to privatize the Federal Aviation Air Traffic Control system, which is the first part of a week-long roll out of his infrastructure ideas, an issue he campaigned on since his first days as a candidate when he called the country’s airports comparable to those in the “third world.”
But Democrats, who agree with him on broad principle, immediately slammed Trump’s plan, saying that his ideas will go nowhere in Congress.
