Trump did not rule out reducing civil servants and Democratic Party projects due to the shutdown

If the shutdown of the US federal government drags on for a long time, the country may begin to lay off government employees and reduce projects supported by the Democratic Party. This was announced on October 2 by US President Donald Trump in an interview with One America News (OAN) TV channel,

"There may be layoffs, and that's them (the Democrats. — Ed.) wine, and maybe other things. We can cut the projects they need, their favorite projects, and they will be cut forever," Trump said.

The politician noted that he has the authority to give appropriate orders. At the same time, according to the head of state, he did not want a shutdown in the United States.

In the United States, on October 1, the government was suspended. Because of this, non-authorized personnel of federal agencies will be forcibly sent on unpaid leave. At the same time, some will continue to perform their work duties without a salary.

On October 2, Trump announced that during his upcoming meeting with the director of the country's Office of Administration and Budget, Russell Vaught, the possibility of reducing a number of democratic agencies against the background of the shutdown would be discussed.
