Trump Threatens “Democrats” with Punishment
The government shutdown in America has begun after President Donald Trump and Congress failed to reach a funding agreement by the deadline, which is today, Wednesday.
Hundreds of thousands of federal employees are facing “forced leave,” and many offices will be closed.
Trump has threatened to take “irreversible steps” as he seeks to punish the Democrats.
The Democrats initiated this battle after demanding funding to maintain healthcare support, which is set to expire and will significantly increase insurance costs, but Republicans have refused to negotiate.
