The American president Joe Biden will meet with congressional leaders on Tuesday to discuss funding for the federal government, as the deadline for shutdown prevention, of the suspension of part of the public services, expires on Friday, his services announced at the White House yesterday Sunday.
Mr. Biden will meet with Republican and Democratic leaders in the House and Senate tomorrow to discuss the “urgent” issue of passing a government funding bill by midnight Friday (local time). time; 07:00 on Saturday Greek time). He will also touch on the issue of draft legislation to offer US support to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, as the impasse remains.
Members of Congress continue to disagree on how to prevent a shutdown. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer indicated yesterday that no deal has yet been struck and called on House Republican Speaker Mike Johnson to “step up” to strike a compromise, despite opposition from the more conservative wing of his faction.
Later yesterday, Mr. Johnson assured via X (the former Twitter) that Republicans were continuing to negotiate in good faith and argued that many of the outstanding issues were demands made by Democrats after the fact. He added that he hoped there would be a result “as soon as possible”.
Current funding runs out March 1 for some federal agencies, including the Department of Transportation. For others, such as the Ministry of Defence, the deadline is March 8.
The US government came dangerously close to a shutdown in the fallwhen hard-line Republicans fired former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy over his deal on temporary government funding with Mr. Schumer.
