"I have no doubt
that that's going to happen very quickly," Trump said at a
bipartisan reception held for senators and their spouses at the
White House.
"I think it's going to happen because we've all been promising -
Democrat, Republican - we've all been promising that to the
American people," he said.
A Republican plan backed by Trump to overhaul the U.S.
healthcare system was pulled on Friday after it failed to garner
enough support to pass the Republican-controlled House of
Representatives.
Trump, a Republican, did not mention that failure at the
reception nor did he offer specifics on how he planned for
lawmakers to reach a consensus on a healthcare bill that would
repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, familiarly known as
Obamacare.
Trump told lawmakers at the reception that he would be talking
about infrastructure and investing in the military, without
offering a time frame or details.
"Hopefully, it will start being bipartisan, because everybody
really wants the same thing. We want greatness for this country
that we love," he said.
