WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump and Democratic congressional leaders agreed Tuesday to work together on a $2 trillion infrastructure package — but put off for later the difficult question of how to pay for it. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said there was ‘‘good will in the meeting’’ — a marked departure from the last meeting between Trump, Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, which ended with Trump walking out in a huff.

Senator Elizabeth Warren jumped onto a social media backlash against Chase on Monday, after the banking giant posted a tweet admonishing customers with low balances. Chase’s tweet, intended to be a joke, didn’t quite land with Twitter users Monday.
