On October 1st, according to the Wall Street Journal, the US federal government will be shut down in the early hours of Wednesday local time (12 noon Beijing time), after Senate Republicans and Democrats rejected each other's funding proposals. While issuing new threats to Democrats on Tuesday, Trump also sent a signal that he is willing to have more discussions on Medicaid funding. The day before, congressional leaders from both parties had just arrived at the White House for talks. Due to internal divisions within the Republican Party and pressure from the left wing of the Democratic Party, any agreement may not be reached until the shutdown begins at midnight. The shutdown will take the United States into uncharted territory. White House officials have repeatedly sought to shrink the size of the government, saying they would use the funding cuts to lay off federal employees on a large scale, rather than simply furlough hundreds of thousands of civil servants.
