However, he said that he was open to working with the Democrats to work out a deal that protects ‘Dreamers’ – undocumented immigrants who entered the US illegally as children – and lets them remain in the country.

Trump also said that he was not planning on restricting the availability of abortion pills. Earlier during his presidential campaign, the Republican had said that the US Supreme Court had shown “great courage” in overturning the Roe v. Wade ruling in 2022.
