BREAKING NEWS: Government Shutdown Looms as Trump Abruptly Shifts Stance on Ukraine Conflict
President Donald Trump has canceled a meeting with Democratic leaders to discuss a possible government funding deal, increasing the chances of a government shutdown on October 1. This decision comes after Trump's abrupt shift in stance on the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Critical Details:
The meeting was scheduled for Thursday but has been canceled by Trump.
Top House Democrat Hakeem Jeffries says Democrats want to "cancel the cuts, lower the costs, save health care" as part of a funding deal.
Trump has posted on social media that Democratic demands are unacceptable.
Background Context:
The government's current funding is set to expire on October 1, and without a new agreement, a shutdown will occur. The meeting with Democratic leaders was seen as a crucial step in reaching a deal.
Current Status:
With the cancellation of the meeting, negotiations between Trump and Democrats have effectively stalled. A government shutdown now appears increasingly likely unless a last-minute agreement is reached.
