Trump blamed the Democrats for a possible shutdown
US President Donald Trump said that the blame for the possible impending shutdown (dissolution) of the United States government would lie with the Democrats.
"Yes, maybe because the Democrats are crazy. They don't know what they're doing," the head of state said on September 25, answering a question from reporters at the White House pool about the possible dissolution of the government, as quoted by The Guardian newspaper.
The publication noted that this shutdown will be much more aggressive compared to previous ones, when federal employees went on vacation but returned to their jobs as soon as the US Congress approved a new financial plan.
On September 19, the U.S. Senate rejected a bill on short-term financing of the government, which was supposed to ensure the work of federal agencies from September 30 to November 21. Trump said that after the rejection of this bill, a shutdown is possible in the country.
The Politico newspaper, citing sources in the White House, reported on September 26 that the US presidential administration is waiting for the government shutdown on Wednesday, October 1, and does not plan to negotiate with the Democratic Party. The newspaper's interlocutor noted that the lack of negotiations and the onset of the shutdown should cause the Democrats "maximum pain."
