Trump opposes deal to avert fast-approaching US government shutdown
US President-elect Donald Trump comes out against a mammoth package allocating funding to avert a fast-approaching US government shutdown after a trove of spending added to the text ballooned costs, outraging conservatives.
Suggesting that concessions to Democrats in the bill were “a betrayal of our country,” Trump says in a joint statement with Vice President-elect JD Vance: “Republicans must GET SMART and TOUGH. If Democrats threaten to shut down the government unless we give them everything they want, then CALL THEIR BLUFF.”
