The “Shutdown” in the United States in the third week: A summit of Democrats and Republicans with U.S. President Donald Trump remained on Friday without a breakthrough. An end to the budget dispute is not in sight.
Trump insists that a new budget law must include funds for the required border wall to Mexico. The Democrats reject this categorically.
Trump threatened in a dispute over the financing of the border wall with more than a one-year budget freeze. He will not go away, that it would come to this, but he was prepared for “it,” Trump said on Friday. After the conversation in the White house Trump campaigned in front of the media again for the construction of the wall. “We’re not talking about games, it is a matter of national security.”
Trump called the conversation with the leader of the Democrats in the Senate, Chuck Schumer, and the new Chairman of the house of representatives, Nancy Pelosi, and “productive”. He think it was a “very, very good Meeting”. Both sides wanted the Government shutdown ended.
“a Shutdown for months”
Schumer, however, called the interview “controversial”. Trump had threatened with a Shutdown in an unprecedented length. “He said he would hold the government over a very long time – months or even years.” He and Pelosi have appealed to Trump, he should not take “millions of Americans and hundreds of thousands of workers” as hostages.
Pelosi, for its part, the conversation with Trump described as an “elongated, and sometimes controversial discussion”. It had been but agree that you lead the discussions.
Pelosi said, the dispute over the Trump required wall on the border could not be resolved before the partial government standstill will not be terminated. You have achieved at the Meeting, but such progress is that there is a better understanding of each other’s Position, and that some possibilities had been excluded. Details are not called.
Democrats
The dispute instructed has resulted in a so-called “Shutdown” for several ministries, because it is not on time a budget law for these areas had been decided. Both chambers of the U.S. Congress must pass such a bill, and Trump has to sign it.
The President is instructed in the question to the votes of the Democrats in Congress. Because of the budget lock parts of the U.S. government are lame for about two weeks. Hundreds of thousands of government holidays are agents in forced or you will need to work without salary. (nag/SDA)
