Democratic lawmakers Assert Administration Declining Government Closure Negotiations as Chief Executive Echoes Threat of Firings
A top White House advisor has indicated that extensive terminations of federal workers could start if the president determines that negotiations to resolve the federal closure are "totally going nowhere|making no progress|stalled completely}."
Kevin Hassett told the news network that he still perceived a possibility that Democrats would yield, but mentioned that the president was "preparing to act|take action|intervene" if necessary.
Deadlocked Discussions
Not any tangible signs of talks have emerged between congressional officials since Trump met with them last week. The shutdown commenced on 1 October, after Senate Democratic senators voted against a interim funding bill that would keep public offices operational through to the twenty-first of November.
"Democrats have chosen not to negotiate with us," Democratic Senate leader Chuck Schumer told CBS, claiming the impasse could be ended only by more negotiations between the president and the key congressional leaders.
Partisan Allegations
The Republican Speaker of the House accused Democrats of being "unserious" in talks to conclude the national shutdown, while the Democratic leader accused GOP lawmakers of causing the closure.
