Democratic lawmakers State Administration Refusing Shutdown Negotiations as President Repeats Threat of Layoffs

A high-ranking administration official has indicated that mass layoffs of federal staff could commence if the chief executive concludes that talks to resolve the federal closure are "absolutely going nowhere|making no progress|stalled completely}."

The White House economic advisor informed the news network that he still perceived a possibility that Democrats would concede, but added that the president was "getting ready to act|take action|intervene" if needed.

Deadlocked Negotiations

Not any substantial signs of discussions have appeared between legislative representatives since Trump sat down with them the previous week. The shutdown began on October 1st, after Senate Democrats rejected a interim budget measure that would maintain federal agencies open through to November 21st.

"They've chosen not to negotiate with us," Democratic Senate leader Chuck Schumer informed CBS, asserting the stalemate could be resolved only by additional discussions between Trump and the four legislative leaders.

Partisan Allegations

The Republican Speaker of the House claimed Democratic lawmakers of being "lacking seriousness" in discussions to end the federal government stoppage, while the Democratic leader faulted Republicans of instigating the shutdown.
