WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump on Monday defended his decision to not include new federal age restrictions in his plan to reduce gun violence at schools, saying they had little political support, amid a cool reception on Capitol Hill for other parts of his proposal. Mr. Trump’s remarks came a day after the release of a White House school safety plan that focused on arming school staff but didn’t include the president’s earlier call to raise the age limit.
