Donald Trump's rejection of the agreement negotiated between Republicans and Democrats in Congress increases the risk of a budget paralysis that will “create instability“ in the US, the White House warned, quoted by AFP and BTA.
Donald Trump “ordered Republicans to shut down the country“, White House spokeswoman Karin Jean-Pierre said in a statement. She called on US President-elect Trump to “stop playing political games“ and “keep his word“ before the deadline on Friday evening. Without the funding bill, the United States will find itself in a situation of temporary suspension of the work of the administration due to lack of funding.
„Republicans must GET SMART and DECISIVE. If the Democrats threaten to shut down the government if we do not give them everything they want, then let's ANSWER THEIR BLUFF“, Trump said earlier in a joint statement with US Vice President-elect J.D. Vance, reported AP.
He opposed the budget agreement negotiated in the US Congress between representatives of the Republican Party and the Democratic Party, which further increased the risk of the federal government shutting down by the deadline at midnight on Friday, reported AFP.
