President Trump and GOP senators agreed during a closed-door White House meeting that they would not include a fix for a key Obama-era program as part of an end-of-the-year spending bill.

"There was also a consensus that anyone on the other side of the aisle who thinks that they're just going to codify DACA in the year-end appropriations bill, it may not be very well received," Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) told reporters.

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) added that senators and Trump agreed that an immigration deal would not be included in "omnibus or any other ... must-pass piece of legislation in 2017."

A spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said he didn't have any announcements on spending bills and declined to discuss private conversations.
