Government shutdown looms as President Trump fails to reach deal
The U.S. government faces an imminent shutdown as President Trump and congressional leaders fail to reach a compromise, with both parties blaming each other. Democrats resist a House-passed funding bill, seeking to reverse healthcare cuts and extend Obamacare subsidies, while Republicans argue the bill lacks partisan bias. President Trump warns of potential federal worker firings, and tensions rise with a manipulated video targeting Democrats. Senate Republicans plan a temporary measure to avoid the shutdown, but its passage appears doubtful without Democratic support.
