Trump at Trump Tower to discuss the presidential transition. Barletta is a member of the Presidential Transition Team Executive Committee. Following the meeting, Barletta met with reporters. The following are excerpts of his conversation with the press: Barletta: It was great. We had a good conversation. We talked about many issues concerning the country and talked about the President-Elect’s ideas moving forward. Reporter: Are you considering roles in the administration? Barletta: We talked about Secretary of Labor and it’s something I’m going to consider. *** Reporter: What was your pitch to him? Barletta: We talked. I’ve worked with the President-Elect throughout the campaign. He knows my background and, as a member of the Executive Transition Team, we talked about the importance of his ideas and moving them forward in Congress and making sure that the transition goes well, as a member of that team. We talked about that, as I said, and some other things. Reporter: What were the top policy initiatives the President-Elect talked to you about? Barletta: His infrastructure plan is obviously very important to him. And again, making sure there’s a smooth transition and the role that I could play either in Congress or as a part of his cabinet. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
