Trump sets shutdown condition amid sweeping moves

President Donald Trump conditioned shutdown talks with Democrats on reopening the government, as he juggled moves at home and abroad. The White House began demolishing part of the East Wing to build a $250 million ballroom without required approval, and Trump said he may seek Justice Department repayment for past investigations. He paused a planned meeting with Putin, eyed talks with NATO’s Rutte, and weighed Gaza options while Vice President Vance visited Israel. Trump faced GOP pushback over Argentine beef, a surprise Army reshuffle surfaced, courts intervened in administration cases, and shutdown fallout spread from museum closures to Census layoffs.
