President Donald Trump on Wednesday acknowledged that GOP lawmakers have a very full plate of ambitious agenda items that they may not be able to deliver on.

The president met with congressional leaders — House Speaker Paul Ryan, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer — in the Oval Office on Wednesday morning. Vice President Mike Pence, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin were also present.

Congress faces a series of deadlines this fall: to repeal and replace Obamacare by a simple majority, pass a spending bill, reauthorize the Federal Aviation Administration and raise the debt ceiling, to name a few.
