At Camp David, Trump Outlines Vision On North Korea, Welfare, Immigration For 2018

Flanked by congressional Republican leadership and some members of his Cabinet at Camp David Saturday, President Trump vowed to be “very involved” in midterm elections later this year and said he had some “incredible meetings” with Republicans as the party charts its legislative course for 2018.

In a wide-ranging press conference, Trump touched on his hopes for passing bipartisan legislation to overhaul the nation’s immigration laws and national welfare programs, repeated claims his campaign did not collude with the Russians who attacked the 2016 presidential election and signaled a willingness to start a dialogue with North Korea, just a week after its leader announced there’s a button to launch a nuclear attack sitting on his desk.
On immigration, Trump said Republicans are going to have to work out an arrangement with Democrats on the Obama-area program Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).

“I think it is something they’d like to see happen. It’s certainly something I’d like to see happen,” the president said.
When pressed for specifics about what he wanted to see in an immigration bill, he suggested that items he wanted would have to be tied to a legislative fix for DACA, which protects roughly 700,000 people brought to the U.S. illegally as children.
Trump ticked off a list of what he called “the basics”: “We want the wall, the wall’s going to happen or we’re not going to have DACA. We want to get rid of chain migration, very important, and we want to get rid of the lottery system.”
