Trump met with Congressional leaders at the White House on Wednesday and after reaching an impasse Trump stormed out of the meeting.
Trump tweeted about the ordeal immediately after:
Just left a meeting with Chuck and Nancy, a total waste of time. I asked what is going to happen in 30 days if I quickly open things up, are you going to approve Border Security which includes a Wall or Steel Barrier? Nancy said, NO. I said bye-bye, nothing else works!

Fox News first reported the news:
President Trump walked out of a meeting with congressional leaders Wednesday at the White House, after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi again rejected his pitch for a border wall.
Trump recently said he is willing to declare a national emergency to bypass Congress but was hoping to strike a deal with Congressional leaders. It appears that a deal is further off than we thought.
