WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President-elect Donald Trump told Fox News on Wednesday that he is "totally against" the stopgap measure proposed in Congress to keep federal agencies funded through March 14, a reporter for the TV network wrote on X.

The bill, known as a continuing resolution, was unveiled by top Republicans and Democrats on Tuesday. It aims to avert a partial government shutdown that would otherwise begin on Saturday.
