Trump news at a glance: Democrats say administration refusing shutdown talks as president repeats threat of firings | Trump administration

The Trump administration will start the mass dismissals of federal workers if the president decides negotiations to end the government’s closure “which is not absolutely nowhere,” said a senior White House.
Kevin Hassett told CNN that he had always seen a chance that the Democrats will receive, but added that Trump “was about to act” if he had to.
