President Donald Trump on Monday said he approves of a pending deal in the Senate that would bring the record-breaking U.S. government shutdown to an end.
“I would say so,” Trump said in the Oval Office, “based on everything I’m hearing” about the deal, which cleared a key procedural hurdle in the Senate on Sunday night.
Any bill to fund the government and end the shutdown, which is now on day 41, would have to be signed by Trump to take effect.
Trump’s remarks included the caveat that he would support the agreement “if it’s the deal I heard about.”
He also said, “they want to change the deal a little bit,” but went on to note, “based on everything I’m hearing, they haven’t changed anything.”
“We have support from enough Democrats, and we’re going to be opening up our country … very quickly,” he added.
