US president voices support for deal to end 41-day government shutdown
US President Donald Trump said Monday that he supports a bipartisan agreement to end the 41-day government shutdown as the Senate Republican leadership seeks a rapid vote on the legislation.
Asked by a reporter if he supports the agreement, Trump said: "I would say so."
"I think based on everything I'm hearing, they haven't changed anything, and we have support from enough Democrats, and we're going to be opening up our country. It's too bad it was closed, but we'll be opening up our country very quickly," he told reporters in the Oval Office.
