Democrats and White House reach a deal???

On September 30, 1938, British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain received a warm welcome from a cheering crowd when he returned to London after negotiations in Munich with Adolf Hitler. Chamberlain had just left a summit where he and the prime minister of France, Edouard Daladier, agreed to Hitler’s demands for Czechoslovakia to cede a portion of its territory known as the Sudetenland to Germany; in return, Hitler assured the Western Allies that he had no further territorial ambitions. Standing on the airport tarmac, the prime minister read from a statement he and the German Führer signed that morning, pledging that their new agreement was “symbolic of the desire of our two peoples never to go to war with one another again.”[1] Speaking later that day outside the Prime Minister’s Office at 10 Downing Street, Chamberlain proclaimed, “I believe it is peace for our time.”
