Trump Cancels Meeting With Schumer And Jeffries As Shutdown Deadline Nears

President Donald Trump has canceled a scheduled White House meeting with Democrats Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, further heightening the threat of a government shutdown.

The meeting is designed to address the impasse over federal funding, with Democrats seeking to restore health care subsidies, reverse Medicaid cuts, and secure other spending priorities.

Republicans have argued that the proposals are too expensive and threaten fiscal stability.

Trump announced the suspension on social media Truth social, calling the Democratic demands “nonsense” and saying the talks “are unlikely to be productive.” He accused party leaders of using the negotiations to push for unconscionable spending.

The decision has fueled concerns that government operations could grind to a halt when funding runs out. Schumer and Jeffries have criticized the move, accusing Trump of walking away from the negotiations and warning that he will take responsibility if the government shuts down.
