US budget: “Shutdown” dispute: Trump now meets with Democrats

A few days before a threatening standstill of work in the US government agencies, a meeting between US President Donald Trump and Democrats in the White House should now be a meeting. Several US media reported that leading representatives of Trump’s Republican Party should also take part in the conversation on Monday.

The time is urging: Before Wednesday, an agreement on the household must be reached in the congress so that fresh money can flow. This requires votes from the Democrats. Days ago, US President Donald Trump had a meeting with the opposition party burst.

The Republican head of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, told the TV station Fox News, he hoped that a “shutdown” would be avoided. The purpose of the meeting is that the president brings together the four top of the two chambers. The Democrats will tell that they should stop with their “political games”.

If there is no agreement in the congress until Wednesday night, there is a risk of a “Government Shutdown”. The federal government would then no longer be available to fresh money. Numerous authorities would have to hire their work, many state employees have not received any salary for the time being. There have already been “shutdowns” in the USA several times, but the effects can vary.

What the Democrats say

In a statement, the democratic minority leaders of the two chambers, Hakeem Jeffries (House of Representatives) and Chuck Schumer (Senate), shared with: They are ready to reach a cross -party agreement on the household that does justice to the needs of the Americans. It was determined to avoid a standstill and to solve a “healthcare crisis” caused by the Republicans.

Health care crux of the health

The two Democrats addressed a sticking point in the dispute. They build further budget money to certain claims in the health sector to protect the status quo. They fear that the previous government plans could lose millions of Americans. Vice President JD Vance, however, accused the Democrats of wanting to spend billions of health services for foreigners who were illegally in the United States.
