Donald Trump canceled a planned meeting with Democratic congressional leaders, the president announced on social media Tuesday.
The U-turn infuriated the top two Democratic leaders, who took to social media and held news conferences to lay blame for a possible Oct. 1 shutdown at Trump's feet.
"Donald Trump can't even negotiate a budget bill with Democrats. This great negotiator," Schumer told reporters outside his home in Brooklyn.
"By refusing to even sit down with Democrats, Donald Trump is causing the shutdown. This is a Trump shutdown."
