Answering questions from reporters, Trump said that Senate Republicans are making a, quote, big mistake in not getting rid of the filibuster.
The change would allow the GOP to reopen the government with a simple majority rather than the now required 60 votes.
The president said he wasn't worried that getting rid of the filibuster would backfire on Republicans if later down the line Democrats used the same strategy.

He said that he and Kim had a great relationship, and he says Kim knows that he's coming to the region, but he hasn't spoken with the North Korean leader.
Trump last met with Kim in 2019 when he made a visit to the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea.
It came together quickly after Trump tweeted and proposed a meeting at the DMZ to shake Kim's hand and say hello.
