Trump says he 's looking at welfare reform
Story highlights  Trump  has struggled to get any sweeping legislation through Congress
Welfare reform was not something  Trump  emphasized on the campaign trail
Washington (CNN)  President Donald Trump  said Monday  his  administration will start to consider reforming the welfare system in the United States  saying that some people are "taking advantage of the system."
The comment comes as the  Trump  administration struggles to get any sweeping legislation through Congress  despite Republicans controlling both the House and Senate.  Trump  failed to pass health care reform earlier this year and is currently working -- without much success so far -- to pass tax reform.
"People are taking advantage of the system and then other people aren't receiving what they really need to live and we think it is very unfair to them " said  Trump   flanked by Defense Secretary James Mattis and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson during a Cabinet meeting. "Because some people are really taking advantage of our system from that standpoint."
"We are going to be looking very  very strongly  therefore  at welfare reform "  Trump  added.
 Trump  didn't say when this roll out would happen but said  he  would announce  his  plan "shortly."
