"I said I wouldn't fund Planned Parenthood, and at the appropriate time things will happen," Trump said in the interview, which is set to air Tuesday night.

Many conservatives oppose providing federal funding for Planned Parenthood because it provides abortions. The group typically receives about $500 million in federal funding each year for nonabortion services.

Trump's stance on the procedure has shifted over the years. While he once identified as pro-abortion rights, he vehemently opposed abortion during his presidential campaign and said he would defund Planned Parenthood if elected.
