Media members largely praised Trump for the move, saying it allowed viewers to see the negotiation process. Lawmakers later said they outlined the parameters of a potential immigration deal with Trump.

Trump, who prior to entering politics hosted "The Apprentice" on NBC, responded on Wednesday by saying his performance at the meeting “got great reviews.”
