President Donald Trump said he would not sign legislation that calls for cuts to Social Security or federal health coverage for older and low-income Americans.

“If it cuts it, I would not approve,” the president said in an interview with TIME magazine published Friday, where he was repeatedly asked about cuts to Medicare, Medicaid or Social Security.
