US government services are stopped on Wednesday, as legislators and the White House contacted an official of those responsible for the first closure in nearly seven years.

the closeWhich started in the middle of the night after the failure of the Republican and Democratic lawmakers to conclude a deal to keep the government funded from the new fiscal year, threatening hundreds of thousands of jobs and risks that cost the American economy billions of dollars in production.

Earlier this week, the Congress Budget Office estimated that about 750,000 workers would be made, while President Donald Trump and administration officials suggested that they use the closure to permanently shoot at public employees.

but Congress The leaders and the White House did not appear in a mood for a settlement with the appearance of vacuums on Wednesday, which raised questions about the period in which the closure will continue.

Republican spokesman Mike Johnson ascended to the proposal that he would mediate in a deal with the Democrats, and reported on Wednesday: “There is nothing to negotiate.

The last government closure was operated from late 2018 to early 2019, for a period of five weeks and reduced US economic production by $ 11 billion.

Democratic leaders said they will not sign the arrangement of Republicans to maintain government financing at the current levels until November 21, unless it includes an extension of health care benefits that are scheduled to end at the end of the year.

They also accused the Republicans and the White House of failure to negotiate in good faith.

Speaking to Fox News on Wednesday morning, Vice President JD Vance accused the Democratic lawmakers of the United States’ government’s “hostility”.

“The government does not take hostage because you want to engage in negotiations on healthcare costs,” he said. “Let’s do that negotiation, but let’s do so in the context of actually opening the government and ensuring that these basic services are provided to the American people.”

The market movements were kept in response to the closure on Wednesday, although analysts indicated a decrease of 0.06 points in the treasury return for 10 years, indicating that the traders were looking for protection in the traditional assets of safety.

In recent days, merchants have moved from taking great steps in the market, expecting that basic economic data will not be issued during the closure.

John Thun, the majority leader of the Republican Senate, pledged to continue to obtain votes on his party’s decision in an attempt to make more democrats support it.

“There is no way out, O people,” Thun told reporters at Capitol Hill on Wednesday morning. “Everyone is asking the question now: How does this end? Well, ends when Democrats in the Senate choose this law … and vote for it.”

The Senate voting, which was held on Wednesday morning, at the same margin of 55-45, failed on Tuesday. The decision needs to fulfill the 60 votes to pass.

Chuck Schumer, the largest democratic in the Senate, insisted that his party be not pushed by Republicans who control the White House and both Congress rooms.

“We have shown the Republicans that they could not bully us, and they cannot hit us,” Schumer told MSNBC. “We are ready to sit and negotiate a good deal to help the American people get out of the health care dilemma … but in the meantime, we will fight everywhere on TV stations … on social media, in arrest, in protest, in emails, in every way.”

Meanwhile, the White House explained that it was ready to pressure Shomer and his party.

The director of the administration and budget office, Russell Fior, announced on Wednesday morning that about $ 18 billion in federal funding for infrastructure projects in New York City will be suspended. Schumer and his counterpart in the House of Representatives, Hakim Jeffrez, represent New York.

A personally familiar with the movement said that the employees of the US Department of Transport working in the project had been subjected “due to the closure of Chuck Schumer.”
