Democratic lawmakers Claim Administration Refusing Government Closure Talks as Chief Executive Restates Threat of Firings
A senior White House representative has suggested that mass layoffs of government employees could begin if the chief executive determines that discussions to end the federal closure are "absolutely going nowhere|making no progress|stalled completely}."
The White House economic advisor stated to the news network that he still observed a chance that Democratic lawmakers would back down, but added that the president was "getting ready to act|take action|intervene" if necessary.
Stalled Talks
Zero substantial signs of talks have appeared between congressional representatives since the president sat down with them last week. The shutdown started on the first of October, after Senate Democrats voted against a temporary appropriations proposal that would continue government departments functioning through to 21 November.
"Democrats have chosen not to negotiate with us," Senate Democratic leader the Senate minority leader told the television network, saying the stalemate could be resolved only by additional talks between the president and the key congressional officials.
Political Allegations
The GOP Speaker of the House alleged Democrats of being "unserious" in negotiations to conclude the national closure, while the Democratic leader accused GOP lawmakers of causing the shutdown.
