WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump hopes to sign the bill Wednesday night to end the government shutdown, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told a press conference.
“The clean CR (continuing resolution) to be voted on today in the House of Representatives that will lead to the reopening of the federal government is what President Trump and Republicans have supported from day one,” Leavitt said.
“President Trump looks forward to… finally ending this devastating Democrat shutdown with his signature, and we hope that signing will take place later tonight.”
