US EditionTrump Says US Government Will 'Probably' Shut Down
Funding talks deadlock over healthcare and budget cuts, risking shutdown that could halt nonessential services and affect hundreds of thousands of federal workers, officials said.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump warned the United States government would probably face a shutdown as funding expires at midnight with no breakthrough in talks.
- Democrats want to restore hundreds of billions in healthcare spending and expand premium tax credit coverage, while Trump posted that Democrats demand over $1 Trillion in new spending, a claim others disputed.
- The 100-member Senate requires a supermajority to pass funding, but Republicans lack enough votes; the House of Representatives passed a seven-week stopgap and a Senate vote was expected this afternoon.
- A shutdown would halt nonessential operations and disrupt social safety-net payments, leaving many civil servants temporarily unpaid, while Trump threatened mass public sector job cuts and other penalties.
- Negotiations have been unusually caustic, with Jeffries berating Trump after an AI video provoked fury and the White House meeting on Monday yielding no deal.
