Rep. Mark Meadows, chairman of the House Freedom Caucus and a Republican from North Carolina, tells Bloomberg's Kevin Cirilli that President Trump's deal with Congressional Democrats sets up a difficult cliff in December.



"Everybody’s surprised" about the three-month deal on the debt ceiling, Meadows said at the breakfast. "It’s not something that any of us advocated for."



It puts Republicans in a poor negotiating position, but "there was not a conservative solution out there," Meadows said about the deal.



"No way the president will be negotiating from a position of strength in December," he added.
