Trump, Democrats leave meeting without deal to avoid government shutdown
Vance warns unresolved budget disputes after Trump’s talks with congressional leaders make a shutdown likely, potentially furloughing nearly 300,000 federal workers by year’s end.
- A meeting between President Trump and congressional leaders ended without an agreement to prevent a government shutdown, as both sides maintained firm positions on funding and healthcare issues.
- President Trump indicated that a shutdown is likely and believes it will benefit him politically, stating that Democrats will face consequences for not negotiating on his terms.
- Democrats are demanding legislation to extend Affordable Care Act tax credits, which Republicans criticize as unreasonable and unrelated to government funding.
- If a funding agreement isn't reached by Tuesday night, many government offices will close, resulting in furloughs for federal employees and adding economic strain.
