Democrats Assert Administration Rejecting Shutdown Talks as President Restates Threat of Job Cuts
A top administration advisor has stated that large-scale terminations of federal staff could start if the president decides that negotiations to conclude the administration stoppage are "completely going nowhere|making no progress|stalled completely}."
The White House economic advisor informed the news network that he still perceived a possibility that Democrats would back down, but mentioned that the president was "getting ready to act|take action|intervene" if necessary.
Stalled Discussions
Zero tangible evidence of negotiations have appeared between legislative representatives since Trump convened with them last week. The stoppage began on the first of October, after upper chamber Democrats rejected a interim appropriations measure that would keep federal agencies functioning through to 21 November.
"They've chosen not to speak with us," Senate Democratic leader the Senate minority leader stated to the television network, claiming the impasse could be resolved only by further discussions between Trump and the four legislative officials.
Partisan Allegations
The GOP House speaker claimed Democrats of being "lacking seriousness" in negotiations to resolve the federal government shutdown, while the Democratic representative faulted Republicans of instigating the closure.
