Republican U.S. President Donald Trump called on Thursday for the removal of the Senate's filibuster rule, to bypass a Democratic roadblock during a government shutdown now in its 30th day.

The filibuster is the Senate rule for agreement by 60 of its 100 members to pass most legislation. Republicans hold a 53-47 majority in the Senate and a 219-213 majority in the House of Representatives.
