Trump to Meet Leaders on Shutdown Deadline

President Trump will meet with top congressional leaders Monday to avert a federal government shutdown ahead of Tuesday's deadline. Democrats are pushing for healthcare provisions, including Affordable Care Act subsidies and Medicaid funding, which Republicans deem non-starters. Republicans are seeking a short-term funding extension. The meeting comes after initial Republican resistance to Democrats meeting with Trump, but Senate Minority Leader Schumer's push prompted the renewed talks. Both parties are aware of potential political fallout from a shutdown.
