Trump opposes deal to avert government shutdown

^{Published on 2024-12-19 02:40:37 - RTE Online}

US President-elect Donald Trump has urged Republican politicians to scupper a cross-party deal to avert a fast-looming US government shutdown.

The article from RTE discusses the looming threat of a US government shutdown as the deadline for a funding agreement approaches. Congress has until the end of the week to pass a spending bill to keep federal operations running. The primary points of contention include funding for border security, aid to Ukraine, and overall federal spending levels. House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer are at odds, with Johnson pushing for significant spending cuts and border security measures, while Schumer emphasizes the need for bipartisan compromise to avoid economic disruption. If no deal is reached, non-essential government functions could halt, affecting millions of federal workers and numerous public services. The White House has warned of the severe economic consequences of a shutdown, urging Congress to act swiftly.
