Less than 24 hours before federal funding, President Donald Trump meets the leaders of Congress in the White House on Monday, September 29) in the last effort to avoid government shutdown.
Discussions will be the first formal meeting between Trump and congress leaders before 1 October. Most of the Senate Chuck Schumer and House Democratic leader Hake Jeffries was scheduled for Trump last week, but the meeting was canceled at the last minute.
This time, Schumer and Jeffries will join Republican leaders of the Senate, including the leader of most of John Thun, in interviews of personal faces with the President.
The dispute over the provisions of health care
On the center of Standoff is a short -term account for expenses that the government would maintain open until mid -November. The Democrats insist that the measures must include the extension of healthcare subsidies and the restoration of Medicaid cuts enacted under Trump’s earlier legislation.
The threat of federal workers shooting
Trump’s administration also threatened the mass shooting of federal employees if the government shuts down. Schumer rejected the warning and called it to the political theater. “Part of the mass release at the beginning of this year was restored by the courts or the administration itself,” he said.
Democrats promise negotiations
Democratic leaders said that they would continue to prevent shutdown, but accused Republicans of creating a “health care crisis”. In a joint statement, Schumer and Jeffries said: “As we have repeatedly said, the Democrats will meet anywhere, whenever anyone negotiates an agreement on Bipartisan, which meets the needs of the US people.
Republicans claim that these provisions should be agreed separately. “We do not want to close the government, but if the Democrats refuse to go through this clean continuing resolution, that will happen, and I think the Democrats will be responsible for it,” said vice president JD Vance on Sunday.
Signals of the White House Hard Line
The White House insisted that the Democrats must reduce their healthcare requirements before Trump agrees with any agreement to spend. Officials have already indicated that off is “likely” without concessions.
The House has undergone a short -term financing law, but the Republicans of the Senate will need at least seven democratic votes to send measures to Trump’s table before the deadline.
