Democrats State Administration Refusing Shutdown Discussions as President Repeats Threat of Layoffs
A top administration advisor has suggested that mass dismissals of government staff could start if the president decides that discussions to resolve the government shutdown are "totally going nowhere|making no progress|stalled completely}."
Kevin Hassett told CNN that he still perceived a opportunity that Democrats would back down, but added that the president was "preparing to act|take action|intervene" if needed.
Deadlocked Talks
Not any tangible evidence of discussions have appeared between congressional officials since Trump met with them last week. The shutdown commenced on the first of October, after Senate Democrats rejected a temporary appropriations measure that would keep federal agencies open through to 21 November.
"They've declined to negotiate with us," Senate Democratic leader the Senate minority leader told the television network, claiming the stalemate could be resolved only by further talks between the president and the principal legislative leaders.
Political Allegations
The Republican Speaker of the House accused Democrats of being "lacking seriousness" in negotiations to resolve the federal government closure, while the Democratic representative accused Republicans of driving the crisis.
