WASHINGTON—U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said he expects to hear next week from the White House whether the Trump administration wants to move ahead with legislation to address gun violence.

McConnell, in an interview on Sept. 3 with radio host Hugh Hewitt, reiterated previous statements that any gun legislation should have the support of President Donald Trump before McConnell would bring it to the Senate floor, so that lawmakers deciding how to vote would know the proposal could be signed into law.
