Trump defends invitation expansion at White House meeting

A meeting of the National Governors Association (NGA) has been expanded to include all governors, regardless of party affiliation. According to a statement from the NGA, this change was made in response to President Trump’s earlier decision to exclude two Democratic governors, Wes Moore and Jared Polis.

The White House had initially stated that only Republican governors would be invited to the meeting. However, following criticism from both parties, Mr. Trump has announced that all governors will now be welcome at the event.

In a statement, the NGA said that President Trump has assured them that he intends to extend an invitation to all governors, regardless of party affiliation. The organization’s president, Governor Larry Hogan of Maryland, confirmed that this change was made after discussions with the White House.

The meeting is scheduled to take place at the White House and will provide an opportunity for governors from both parties to discuss key issues affecting their states.
