Trump confident ahead of Monday showdown, says Democrats' position makes shutdown likely: "I just don't know how we're going to solve this issue"

President Trump indicated a government shutdown is likely unless Democrats concede to his spending demands. He expressed confidence in public support if funding expires, predicting political repercussions for Democrats. Trump plans to meet with congressional leaders ahead of the October 1 deadline. A shutdown could enable him to cut government programs and salaries. Disagreements persist over healthcare funding, with Trump insisting on addressing immigration as part of any deal.
