WASHINGTON, Feb 2 (Reuters) - Republican leaders in Congress are nearing a resolution aimed ending a partial government shutdown, U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday.
Trump told reporters that he had spoken with House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune and thought "they're pretty close to a resolution."
A partial shutdown took effect at 12:01 a.m. Eastern time (0501 GMT), but it is expected to be brief, with lawmakers from both parties working to reach a deal.
