Republican US Presidential candidate Donald Trump arrives for a meeting on May 12, 2016 in Washington, DC\/AFP<\/p><\/div>\n

WASHINGTON, United States, May 12 – Republican Party chief Reince Priebus said he had held a “great” meeting with Donald Trump on Thursday aimed at mending divisions over the billionaire’s controversial White House campaign.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The meeting was great. It was a very positive step toward party unity,” Priebus, one of the top Republicans meeting Trump along with House Speaker Paul Ryan, said in a tweet after their talks in Washington.<\/p>\n

Ryan, the top-ranked Republican currently elected to public office, triggered soul-searching within a fractured party with the bombshell announcement last week that he was “just not ready” to support Trump as the flagbearer.<\/p>\n

The concerns have trickled down to many in the congressional rank and file who fear a Trump nomination could doom their efforts to defeat Democrat Hillary Clinton in November and hold the majority in the Senate and House of Representatives.<\/p>\n

With the party divided, Trump and the Republican establishment aim to put differences aside ahead of what is expected to be a brutal campaign battle against Clinton.<\/p>\n

“The goal here is to unify the various wings of the party around common principles,” Ryan said Wednesday.<\/p>\n

“After coming through a very bruising primary, which just ended like a week ago, to pretend we’re unified without actually unifying, then we go into the fall at half strength.”<\/p>\n

Chanting protesters greeted Trump as he arrived at the headquarters of the Republican National Committee in Washington for the sitdown.<\/p>\n

He ignored the dozen or so protesters, who carried signs that read “Trump is a racist” and “RIP GOP,” as he entered the building through a back door.<\/p>\n

“Undocumented! Unafraid!” protesters shouted in defiance of Trump’s vow to order mass deportations of illegal immigrants if elected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
