I was wondering about the word "rejects" also. What they are saying is that the President was expected to choose one of 4 options presented yesterday. He didn't accept any of them & is asking for different plans. So not accepting is being called rejecting. In reality the final plan probably would be built on something already on the table, but (I hope) with some major disconnect from the trajectory we are on now.
