Democrats Claim White House Rejecting Shutdown Talks as Chief Executive Restates Threat of Layoffs
A senior White House advisor has stated that large-scale layoffs of government workers could start if the president concludes that discussions to conclude the government shutdown are "completely going nowhere|making no progress|stalled completely}."
Kevin Hassett told CNN that he still saw a possibility that Democrats would yield, but mentioned that the president was "getting ready to act|take action|intervene" if required.
Frozen Talks
Zero concrete indications of talks have emerged between legislative representatives since Trump convened with them the previous week. The stoppage began on 1 October, after upper chamber Democrats turned down a interim appropriations measure that would keep public offices functioning through to November 21st.
"They've refused to negotiate with us," Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer stated to CBS, claiming the stalemate could be resolved only by more talks between the president and the principal congressional leaders.
Political Accusations
The Republican Speaker of the House alleged Democratic lawmakers of being "unserious" in discussions to resolve the national closure, while the Democratic leader faulted Republicans of causing the closure.
