The disagreement between Republicans and Democrats on how to finance the government continues and the avoidance of Shutdown until October 1, 2025, with Congress MPs and Senators leaving a meeting with the US House with US President Trump without any real agreement.

US President Donald Trump and his democratic opponents have appeared to take a few steps in the discussions aimed at preventing the interruption of federal government services, which could cause problems in a wide framework for services even on Wednesday, CBS notes.

Great differences between democratic and Republicans

The two sides left the meeting, blaming each other, if Congress fails to extend the funding of the government ending at midnight on Tuesday (07:00 on Wednesday morning, Greek time).

“I think we are heading to a shutdown,” said US Vice President Jay Di Vance after the meeting.

Minority leader Chuck Sumer, a Democrat from New York, said there are “very big differences” between the two sides. Democrats are pushing to extend the healthcare subsidies, while Republicans want to prolong current levels of funding for seven weeks.

The Speaker of the House of Representatives said that Sumer and Hakim Jeffris “refuse to recognize the simple events.” The majority leader in the Senate John Tour, accused the Democrats of “hostage” the process of approval of credit. Republican party leaders have said that Democratic Senators must support the bill passed by the House to extend funding.

The obvious lack of progress leaves a few options to avoid closing at 12 midnight on Wednesday. The Senate plans to put the House bill on a new vote on Tuesday.

Jeffris told CNN that the Democrats’ request to extend Affordable Care Act’s tax relief in exchange for maintaining the government’s operation “is not just a negotiating tactic”.

The New York Democrat also ruled out the idea of ​​voting for a short -term bill to avoid the government’s stoppage for seven to ten days to give legislators for negotiations more time.

“We are opposed to postponing the problem,” he said. “This issue must be addressed immediately,” he said.

React air and employees

An alliance of US airlines, industrial groups and trade union workers in the air transport has pressed the legislators to “take immediate action” to prevent the government from closing, which, as they warned, could harm its efforts to modernize the country.

Usually, during the closure of the government, air traffic controllers and other vital workers are expected to continue to come to work without pay.

In a letter from the Alliance – called Airlines for America – it was warned that the shutdown could stop the efforts to hire and educate new air traffic controllers, as FAA faces lack of staff and invests billions in the modernization of the air traffic control system.

“The government’s shutdown at this stage would endanger the significant progress we have all achieved so far in these efforts,” the letter said.

How could the army affect

If the government is interrupting its operation this week, military personnel will continue to serve without remuneration until Congress reaches an agreement.

During the interruption, all members of the active Armed Forces, as well as the National Guard, which is currently on a mission, must perform their duties with delay in payment until the termination is over. Political staff whose work is considered necessary or “excluded” by the Ministry of Defense will also continue to work, while other civil servants will be made available for the entire closing period.

“Following the closure of the government, all government officials will automatically receive their delayed remuneration under the terms of the 2019 government officials’ law,” said Simimos Daniels, a researcher for the analysis of the strategy.

The current members of the Armed Forces will not be paid in time, unless Congress votes a separate bill to ensure the continuation of the payment of wages and allowances of the military, as happened in 2013. A Republican MP of the House of Representatives, of the two parties, but it is unlikely to be voted on in time, as the House of Representatives remains closed until next week.
