President Donald Trump meets Monday at 2 p.m. ET with prime bipartisan, bicameral congressional leaders because the clock ticks down towards a possible authorities shutdown at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday.
However there may be little optimism for the assembly.
Senate Minority Chief Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Home Minority Chief Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., haven’t met with Trump since he returned to workplace. Democrats are insisting on subsidies to make Obamacare protection cheaper and a reinstatement of cash minimize for public radio and tv.
Earlier conferences between Trump and prime Democrats have ended badly. Former Home Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., stormed out of 1 such session.

The prospects of a shutdown are extraordinarily excessive. There have been no talks or buying and selling of provides for weeks. The Home permitted a stopgap invoice to easily renew all present funding at current ranges, after which they left city.
Solely the Senate is in session immediately. The Senate doubtless re-votes a procedural vote which failed simply to begin debate on the Home-approved invoice tomorrow, hours earlier than the deadline. That wants 60 yeas to interrupt a filibuster. In any other case, the federal government is on cruise management for a shutdown.
