President Trump told congressional Republican leaders on Thursday that he stands “shoulder-to-shoulder” with them in pursuing an ambitious agenda for the American people, casting his busy first week as the start of an even busier session. “This Congress is going to be the busiest Congress we’ve had in decades, maybe ever,” Trump told the GOP leaders in Philadelphia, at their annual legislative retreat. I am privileged to stand shoulder-to-shoulder as we work every day to make America great again,” Trump said. The president opened his roughly 30-minute speech boasting about his surprise November win in Democrat-leaning Pennsylvania, calling it the “bride that got away” for GOP presidential candidates for nearly three decades. On efforts to withhold federal funds from so-called “sanctuary cities” in the U.S. that protect illegal immigrants from deportation, Trump said, “The hour of justice for the American worker has arrived.”
