Democrats Claim White House Rejecting Shutdown Talks as Chief Executive Restates Threat of Job Cuts

A top administration official has stated that extensive dismissals of federal workers could begin if the president decides that talks to end the administration stoppage are "totally going nowhere|making no progress|stalled completely}."

Kevin Hassett informed the news network that he still saw a possibility that Democratic lawmakers would yield, but noted that the president was "getting ready to act|take action|intervene" if necessary.

Deadlocked Negotiations

Not any tangible evidence of negotiations have surfaced between congressional leaders since the president met with them the previous week. The closure commenced on the first of October, after Senate Democratic senators voted against a short-term funding proposal that would continue federal agencies open through to the twenty-first of November.

"Democrats have declined to speak with us," Senate Democratic leader the Senate minority leader told CBS, asserting the impasse could be solved only by additional discussions between Trump and the principal legislative leaders.

Partisan Accusations

The GOP Speaker of the House accused Democrats of being "lacking seriousness" in negotiations to conclude the federal government stoppage, while the Democratic representative accused Republicans of instigating the closure.
