Trump to Hold Critical Talks with Congress to Prevent Shutdown

President Trump is scheduled to meet with congressional leaders to negotiate a spending bill ahead of the October 1 deadline to prevent a government shutdown, which could impact federal programs and workers. The meeting aims to resolve disagreements over the bill, with Democrats pushing for extensions of health-related tax credits and Medicaid provisions. The White House has prepared for a shutdown, including potential layoffs of federal employees, if an agreement is not reached.
