Democratic minority leaders Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Nancy Pelosi on Thursday released a joint statement saying they are in agreement with President Donald Trump's morning tweets:

"There was no final deal," the pair wrote.

"President Trump's tweets are not inconsistent with the agreement reached last night," they wrote, citing the dinner they had with Trump at the White House.

There was agreement on the following, they said:

"We agreed the president would support enshrining DACA protections into law, and encourage the House and Senate to act," they wrote.

"While both sides agreed that the wall would not be any part of this agreement, the president made clear he intends to pursue it at a later time, and we made clear we would continue to oppose it," they wrote.

"Both sides agreed that the White House and Democratic leaders would work out a border security package," they wrote.
