WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Donald Trump's election campaign on Monday sought to clarify his stance on popular U.S. entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare after President Joe Biden blasted him for talking about "cutting" them.
The Republican presidential candidate told CNBC on Monday there was "a lot you can do in terms of cutting" entitlement programs, adding he wants to find cost savings by targeting "theft and bad management."
Democrats seized on Trump's mention of cuts to Social Security and Medicare, which many elderly Americans rely on for retirement income and healthcare, respectively.
