Democratic lawmakers Claim White House Rejecting Shutdown Talks as President Echoes Warning of Job Cuts
A high-ranking White House advisor has stated that mass terminations of government staff could start if the president determines that discussions to end the government shutdown are "completely going nowhere|making no progress|stalled completely}."
Kevin Hassett stated to CNN that he still saw a possibility that Democrats would back down, but noted that Trump was "gearing up to act|take action|intervene" if necessary.
Frozen Talks
Zero concrete evidence of discussions have surfaced between legislative representatives since the president sat down with them the previous week. The shutdown began on October 1st, after Senate Democratic senators turned down a interim funding proposal that would continue government departments open through to the twenty-first of November.
"They've refused to speak with us," Senate Democratic leader the Senate minority leader stated to the television network, claiming the deadlock could be ended only by additional discussions between Trump and the key congressional leaders.
Partisan Accusations
The Republican House speaker claimed Democratic lawmakers of being "unserious" in talks to conclude the national stoppage, while the Democratic representative blamed GOP lawmakers of driving the crisis.
