Jeffries says Trump congressional leadership meeting will be 'good faith negotiation'
Before President Donald Trump meets with bipartisan congressional leadership on Monday to avert a possible government shutdown, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Democrats are "determined to turn things around" and that their position "will continue to be clear."

He told reporters Democrats are heading into the meeting to have a "good faith negotiation" about "landing the plane that avoids a government shutdown, but does not continue the Republican assault on the health care of the American people."
One of the main points of contention between Republicans and Democrats is the impending expiration of some of the Affordable Care Act's tax credits, which Democrats are fighting to extend.
Jeffries said he will see whether Trump is "interested in protecting the health care of the American people."
"Enough with the games that Republicans have been playing. No one can trust their word on health care," Jeffries said.
