President Donald Trump and Democratic leaders in the U.S. Congress have agreed to work together on legislation to protect “Dreamers,” the illegal immigrants who were children when they entered the United States, the lawmakers said, although a dispute erupted over exactly what had been agreed. Following a dinner with Trump at the White House, Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer and House of Representatives Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi said the “productive meeting” focused on “DACA,” a program established by former President Barack Obama.

Trump said that taxes on rich Americans might rise, as he pursues a tax code overhaul and reaches out to both Democrats and Republicans in a push to win support for a plan still far from complete.

The U.S. State Department will stop issuing certain kinds of visas to some citizens of Cambodia, Eritrea, Guinea and Sierra Leone because the nations are not taking back their citizens the United States wants to deport. The new policies, laid out in State Department cables reviewed by Reuters and described in a department news briefing, are the latest example of Trump’s effort to crack down on immigrants who are in the United States illegally. Read the cables.

Commentary

Trump needs to make the politically-risky decision to recognize North Korea as a nuclear state, then adopt Cold War-style measures of deterrence and containment, writes columnist Daniel R. DePetris. "This isn’t about what Kim Jong Un wants, but rather what is most likely to serve U.S. national security," he says. "Conflict management is not the most ideal scenario for U.S. policymakers, but it may be the only prudent choice we have left."
