Trump to meet top lawmakers Monday to avert Wednesday’s government shutdown amid funding deadlock.
President Donald Trump will meet with top congressional leaders—House Speaker Mike Johnson, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer—at the White House on Monday amid escalating tensions over federal funding.
The meeting, aimed at avoiding a government shutdown set to begin at 12:01 a.m.
ET Wednesday, comes after days of deadlock.
Democrats demand inclusion of Affordable Care Act subsidy extensions and Medicaid cut reversals in any funding bill, while Republicans oppose those conditions and push for a seven-week extension without added provisions.
The talks follow a previous cancellation, with Republican leaders arguing Democrats had not fulfilled their duty to keep the government open.
Both sides are preparing for potential political fallout, with no agreement reached as the deadline approaches.
