Donald Trump Rejects Bipartisan Deal Raising Risk of Fiscal Shutdown in the U.S.
Donald Trump’s rejection of a bipartisan agreement negotiated by Republicans and Democrats in Congress heightens the threat of a fiscal shutdown, potentially leading to instability across the country, warned the U.S. presidency. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre condemned Trump, urging the Republican Party to refrain from political games and honor their commitments before the deadline. Without legislative approval by the deadline, the U.S. faces a government shutdown just before the year’s end holidays.
