Trump cancels meeting with top Democrats on how to prevent a government shutdown
Washington – President Donald Trump suddenly canceled a scheduled meeting with the best Democrats in Congress a week before a potential government closure.
In a long article on social networks, Trump wrote that after having “examined the details of non -serious and ridiculous requests” that the Democrats make, “I decided that no meeting with their Congress leaders could be productive”.
He discharged on the Democrats and declared that any meeting with the chief of the minority of the Hakeem Jeffries Chamber, DN.Y., and the head of the Senate minority, Chuck Schumer, DN.Y., would be conditioned to change their posture.
“I can’t wait to meet them if they get serious about the future of our nation,” he wrote on Truth Social, while invented against democratic calls to repeal parts of his law of the domestic agenda, including cups and changes to Medicaid.
His online comments occurred a few hours after Jeffries and Schumer published a joint declaration on the meeting, which was scheduled for Thursday.
“After weeks of Republican Stonewalling in Congress, President Trump agreed to meet this week at the Oval Office. At the meeting, we will highlight the importance of treating the cost increase, including the republican health care crisis,” the two Democrats wrote. “It is time to meet and work to avoid a closure of the Republican.”
The congress is in the midst of an impasse because the funding of the government is expected to expire on September 30. The House controlled by the Republican adopted a short -term bill to keep the government open until November 21, but the Senate – which requires 60 votes to adopt a bill – has rejected both the GOP and the Democratic proposals.
Jeffries criticized Trump for canceling the meeting.
“Trump has always made goals,” he wrote on X. “Donald Trump has just canceled a meeting with high issues in the oval office with myself and the leader Schumer. The extremists want to close the government because they do not want to contact the republican health care crisis that devastates America.”
Democrats demanded an extension of Obamacare’s financing in order to prevent the increase in insurance premiums next year.
