U.S. President Trump and congressional leaders did not seem to make any progress at the White House meeting on September 29.After this meeting to avoid the government's "closure", both Democrats and Republicans said that if Congress failed to extend government funding before the deadline for midnight on September 30, it would be the fault of the other party.

Previously, the House of Representatives had passed a temporary funding bill drafted by the Republicans with a weak advantage, trying to keep the federal government running funds until late November, but the Senate failed to pass the bill. U.S. media that after Trump met with Congress leaders on 29th, the Senate is expected to re-vot. If the bill fails to pass, the federal government will shut down at zero on October 1st local time and hundreds of thousands of federal employees will be forced on unpaid leave.

Wans: Democrats made a mistake Democrat: the president decided not to close the door

The central contradiction of the ¡°shutdown wave¡± is that Democrats have criticized the Republican side¡¯s temporary allocation bill for ignoring health insurance priorities and proposing the Democratic version of the allocation scheme that will keep the government operating until October 31. The scheme includes the extension of the ¡°Payment Medicine Act¡± subsidy that expires at the end of this year, the abolition of ¡°Big But Beautiful¡± tax and expenditure bill other restrictions on medical subsidies, etc. However, the Republican side declined to compromise.

US Vice President Vance told reporters after the meeting on the 29th: "I think we are heading for the government's' shutdown '."

Vance called it a "crazy idea" for Democrats to try to spend taxpayers' money on illegal immigrant health care. The government is heading for a "shutdown" because "the Democratic Party will not do the right thing".

Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said after the meeting, ¡°Now the decision-making power is in the hands of the president¡± and ¡°If he can get Republican leaders to agree with our demands, he can avoid government shutdowns.¡±

According to the Associated Press, * and the Republican parties still held their own opinions at the meeting that day. Democrats say they won't vote for a Republican-drafted temporary appropriations bill unless Republicans meet multiple requirements, including an extension of expiring health benefits; Republicans refused to negotiate, saying that it was a "pure bill" with streamlined content, which should not have caused controversy.

Some media revealed that Trump said on the same day that he had no intention of negotiating on the current conditions of the Democratic Party, believing that "their ideas are not very good".

Republicans have a 53-47 majority in the Senate, but under the rules, they need 60 votes to pass the appropriations bill. So far, it's unclear whether the two sides will budge before the deadline.

Preparations for "closing the door" begin

According to Associated Press, the federal agencies have begun to issue emergency plans in response to a possible "shutdown", detailing which office departments will continue to operate and which employees will be forced to leave.

The U.S. Department of Labor and Commerce said on Monday that if the federal government partially shuts down, its statistics agency will suspend the publication of U.S. economic data, which could include the concerned September employment data, building spending data, and international trade data for August.

White House administration and budget chief Walter told reporters that the government shutdown "will be properly addressed" if the Senate Democrats accept the bill passed by the House.

The U.S. federal government¡¯s ¡°shutdown¡± situation due to the two-party political game is so rare that federal agencies have developed a set of operational manuals on how to deal with the ¡°shutdown¡±. According to media reports, at the end of the September 30 Japanese fiscal year, the Trump administration is rapidly rewriting these response plans, and if the government¡¯s ¡°shutdown¡± occurs again, it will be harder to predict than ever before and could cause greater chaos.

The Trump administration has previously threatened to permanently dismiss ¡°unnecessary¡± federal employees who do not receive funding for their positions, instead of giving them temporary leave. The White House Administration and Budget Office has asked agencies to revise emergency plans to clearly list those who will be dismissed during the ¡°stop-up.¡±
