Dive Brief:
- The Trump administration could have too much on its plate this year and might not have time to act on its much-touted, $1 trillion infrastructure plan until 2018, according to Axios.
- President Donald Trump's staffers and agency heads are currently engaged with issues of immigration, healthcare, tax reform and battles over the debt ceiling.
- Delaying infrastructure until next year could also be part of a Republican strategy to reel in Democrats facing midterm re-election who might be hesitant to push back against projects that could benefit their constituents.
