Trump announced the rejection of the Democrats' programs to reduce spending

In the face of a government shutdown, the White House will cut costs by eliminating programs from representatives of the Democratic Party. This was announced on October 9 by US President Donald Trump.

"We will reduce some very popular programs of the Democrats," he said during a cabinet meeting.

The American leader noted that these programs of the Democrats "are not popular with representatives of the Republican Party" and added that their work is "so arranged." At the same time, Trump did not provide any other details.

In addition, the head of the White House added that the Democrats' bill to shut down the government had not received enough votes to be passed in the Senate. He stressed that the voting continues.

End of ties: how the political split in the United States is delaying the shutdown

While Republicans and Democrats continue to argue, the country's GDP is losing $15 billion per week.

On the same day, the Reuters news agency reported that the U.S. Senate rejected bills on government financing from the Republican and Democratic parties for the seventh time. Thus, the shutdown in the United States continues.

Kevin Hassett, head of the White House National Economic Council, warned on October 5 that if the government shutdown continues, massive cuts and losses to GDP of $15 billion per week are possible. It was clarified that with a reasonable approach by the Democrats to budget coordination, there would be no reasons for cuts.

Later, on October 6, Trump announced that he was ready to engage in dialogue with Democrats on problematic topics where opinions differ with Republicans, but this is possible only after the US government resumes its activities.
