President Trump said he's willing to work with Democrats on funding to deal with a potential coronavirus outbreak in the US.

"We started out by looking at certain things, we've been working with the Hill very, very carefully, very strongly, and I think that we have very good bipartisan spirit for money," he said.

He continued: "We were asking for $2.5 billion, and we think that that is a lot. But the Democrats — and I guess Senator Schumer — wants us to have much more than that."

Trump then appeared show some willingness to move toward bipartisanship.

"Normally I'd say we'll take it, we'll take it. If they want give more, we'll do more. We'll spend whatever is appropriate."
