Trump says he's prepared to use veto, vows to pursue agenda over next two years

President Donald Trump said he is prepared to use his veto power against any legislation put forward by Democrats if they control Congress, stressing his determination to continue implementing his program over the next two years regardless of the election results.

In an interview with a U.S. television network, Trump said he has broad executive powers, and added that he would welcome the nickname "Mr. Veto" if the Democrats win a majority in either the House or the Senate.

The president said Supreme Court decisions have granted his administration significant executive authority, and that this enables him to continue his actions even if Congress attempts to block some of his policies.

Trump repeated his readiness to reject opposition legislation using the veto, affirming his confidence in his ability to carry out his agenda during the remainder of his term.
