President Trump said on Tuesday that he’s not “happy” with a potential budget deal being worked out by congressional negotiators but added that he doesn’t think there will be another partial government shutdown.

“I have to study it,” Trump told reporters during a Cabinet meeting at the White House. “I’m not happy about it. It’s not doing the trick. … Am I happy at first glance? I just got to see it. The answer is no, I’m not happy.” He said that he would be “adding things to it.”
