Trump says he will unveil list on Friday of 'Democrat programs' to be shut
President Trump will identify Democrat programs to close permanently amid a government shutdown that has lasted three weeks, with key funding votes repeatedly failing in the Senate.
- On Oct 17, President Donald Trump will produce a list of Democrat programmes to be closed, threatening cuts by Friday that are unlikely to return.
- The government shutdown entered its third week as the Senate failed a 49-45 vote, falling short of the 60 needed to fund government through Nov 21.
- Notably, US President Donald Trump declined to name specific programme agencies and told reporters on Oct 14 that closures would be permanent, repeatedly threatening to cut Democrat-aligned federal employees.
- Some federal workers and military personnel face missing a pay cheque while the administration redirects funds and began laying off more than 4,000 employees last week.
- The administration has paused nearly $28 billion benefiting Democratic-leaning cities and states, and Trump threatened to close `Democrat programs`, saying they'll never return.
