Democrats Claim White House Rejecting Shutdown Talks as President Restates Warning of Firings
A top administration representative has indicated that extensive dismissals of government staff could begin if the president decides that discussions to resolve the administration stoppage are "completely going nowhere|making no progress|stalled completely}."
The White House economic advisor stated to CNN that he still saw a possibility that Democratic lawmakers would back down, but mentioned that Trump was "preparing to act|take action|intervene" if necessary.
Frozen Discussions
No concrete evidence of talks have appeared between legislative leaders since Trump met with them the previous week. The shutdown started on October 1st, after upper chamber Democratic senators rejected a interim funding bill that would continue government departments open through to November 21st.
"They've chosen not to speak with us," Democratic Senate leader Chuck Schumer informed CBS, asserting the deadlock could be solved only by further discussions between the president and the key legislative leaders.
Partisan Claims
The GOP House speaker alleged Democratic lawmakers of being "lacking seriousness" in talks to conclude the national closure, while the Democratic representative faulted GOP lawmakers of instigating the shutdown.
