Democrats Assert Administration Declining Shutdown Discussions as President Repeats Threat of Layoffs

A top White House official has indicated that large-scale terminations of federal employees could start if the chief executive determines that negotiations to end the administration stoppage are "completely going nowhere|making no progress|stalled completely}."

Kevin Hassett told the news network that he still perceived a chance that Democratic lawmakers would concede, but added that the president was "gearing up to act|take action|intervene" if necessary.

Stalled Negotiations

No substantial signs of talks have surfaced between congressional officials since the president sat down with them recently. The shutdown began on 1 October, after upper chamber Democrats rejected a interim appropriations proposal that would keep public offices operational through to the twenty-first of November.

"They've declined to negotiate with us," Democratic Senate leader Chuck Schumer stated to the television network, claiming the stalemate could be resolved only by more discussions between Trump and the principal legislative leaders.

Partisan Claims

The Republican House speaker alleged Democratic lawmakers of being "unserious" in talks to conclude the national stoppage, while the Democratic representative blamed GOP lawmakers of causing the closure.
