President Trump meets congressional leaders as Republicans hold both chambers but need Democratic support to avoid a shutdown that could furlough thousands of federal workers, officials said.

- If the shutdown occurs, closure of national parks, monuments, and Smithsonian museums will follow, while retroactive pay will be provided to furloughed workers once funding is restored.
