President Donald Trump praised Colorado\u2019s response to the coronavirus, and its Democratic leader, in a meeting at the White House on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re both doing an excellent job, and it\u2019s an honor to have you at the White House,\u201d Trump told Gov. Jared Polis and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, a Republican who also was invited.<\/p>\n

Polis, who has been in regular touch with the Trump administration through the coronavirus pandemic, said the president invited him to meet in person, and that he could not turn down that invitation.<\/p>\n

Trump asked how Colorado\u2019s ski industry is doing. Polis closed all of the state\u2019s ski resorts effective March 15.<\/p>\n
