US Vice President Vance warns: Continued government "shutdown" may trigger layoffs

US Vice President Vance warned on the 1st that if the federal government's "shutdown" lasts for a long time, it may trigger layoffs. White House spokesman Levitt said that federal layoffs are "likely" to happen and will happen "soon".

Vance said at the White House press conference that day that if this deadlock drags on for a few days or even weeks, the federal government may have to lay off employees. Regarding the reasons for layoffs, Vance said that the federal government had to save money in some places to ensure that the necessary services of the government would not be interrupted by the "shutdown".

Levitt said at the same press conference that President Trump has given instructions to the cabinet that the White House Office of Management and Budget is working with various government departments and agencies to determine where spending can be cut. "We believe layoffs are imminent." she said.

Trump and White House officials have repeatedly said the federal government would cut jobs once it "stop", saying Democrats should be responsible for it. U.S. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer has pointed out Republicans' attempts to use federal employees as a scam in this budget dispute and called it a means of intimidation and threat.
