Earlier in the day, US President Donald Trump held a meeting in the White House with Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi, the respective Democratic minority leaders of the Senate and House of Representatives, as they seek to secure a spending deal ahead of the December 21 government shutdown deadline.

Nancy Pelosi, the California congresswoman and House Minority leader, reportedly questioned the 'manhood' of the US President, according to the Washington Post.

"It's like a manhood thing for him. As if manhood could ever be associated with him. This wall thing," said Pelosi.
