Democratic lawmakers Claim White House Refusing Shutdown Negotiations as President Echoes Warning of Firings
A top White House representative has suggested that extensive terminations of government staff could commence if the president determines that talks to end the federal closure are "absolutely going nowhere|making no progress|stalled completely}."
Kevin Hassett told the news network that he still saw a possibility that Democratic lawmakers would back down, but added that Trump was "preparing to act|take action|intervene" if required.
Stalled Discussions
Not any substantial evidence of negotiations have emerged between congressional officials since Trump convened with them the previous week. The stoppage started on the first of October, after Senate Democrats rejected a short-term appropriations measure that would maintain government departments functioning through to 21 November.
"They've refused to speak with us," Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer informed the television network, claiming the stalemate could be solved only by more negotiations between Trump and the key legislative officials.
Partisan Claims
The Republican Speaker of the House alleged Democrats of being "unserious" in discussions to end the national stoppage, while the Democratic representative blamed GOP lawmakers of driving the closure.
