The next day of “shutdown” in the US: Trump is thinking of a “$ 1,000-2,000” for Americans, while threatening “definitive cuts” and dismissals

US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that federal employees risk being fired, and some projects will be completely eliminated if the blockade generated by “budget paralysis” will continue, even if it suggested that Americans could receive refund checks from new tariff revenues, writes Reuters.

“There could be dismissals, and the fault belongs to them,” Trump said about the Democrats in the US Congress, when asked, in an interview with the OAN television network, about a recent note of the Management and Budget Office that raised the dissemination perspective.

“We could reduce the projects that they (Democrats, no) wanted, their favorite projects, and they would be cut permanently,” he said, adding: “I have the right to reduce things that should never have been approved and I will probably do this.”

The Federal government was partially “closed” on Wednesday, in a new “Shutdown”, after the American Congress failed to reach a financing agreement, only the essential services continuing to work.

Trump also said that revenues in the new customs duties are barely beginning to materialize and that they could eventually reach $ 1 trillion a year. The White House leader said that some of the funds would help pay the government's debt, which, according to him, could reach 38 trillion dollars.

Trump's estimation far exceeds that of Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, who last month said that income from customs duties from Trump could exceed $ 500 billion a year.

US Treasury data show that the Washington government has a federal debt of $ 37.64 trillion.

The President Republican also stated on Thursday that his administration is considering using revenues from rates to issue reimbursement checks for Americans.

“We may also distribute to the population, almost like a dividend to the American people,” Trump said. “We are thinking of an amount between $ 1,000 and $ 2,000. It would be great,” he added.

Trump has intensified his threats

Frozen infrastructure projects in the Democratic states, imminent officials of the officials and the abolition of some American federal agencies – Republican President Donald Trump tried with such threats to increase the pressure on the Democratic Opposition, on the second day of a “budget paralysis” apparently without rapid solution.

In a message posted in the morning on his social media platform, Trump announced that he will meet later during his day with his budget director at the White House, Russ Vought, “to see what the democratic agencies are, many of them a political scam, for which he recommends the abolition and if these closures must be temporary.”

“I can't believe that the left-handed democrats offered me this unprecedented opportunity,” he added, referring to the Congress budget, which threw the United States on a “Shutdown” on Tuesday, which stopped the activity of a part of the federal institutions.

Hundreds of thousands of officials, with attributions considered “non -essential”, were forced to get into technical unemployment and disturbances are expected in the provision of public services, according to AGERPRES.

For example, the Association of Air Traffic Controllers (NATCA) stated, in a statement, that it is afraid of the safety of the air space, while over 2,300 its members are in technical unemployment.

Such situations of “shutdown” have existed in the US, but have not happened in the last seven years, and Republicans and Democrats launch each other.

The Democrats “took the American hostage people, in a way in which they believe that they benefit them politically,” thus accused the leader of the Republican majority of the Senate, John Thune. On his side, the Democratic leader in the Chamber of Representatives, Hakeem Jeffries, reproached Trump to show “irresponsible and serious behavior.”

In fact, the White House leader does not hide his intention to make the Democrats pay for this situation. “Many good things can result from shutdows, we can get rid of many things that we do not want, and these would be things of democrats,” Trump said on Tuesday.

On Wednesday, the white house spokesman spoke about “imminent” dismissals of officials if the budget block persists.

In the meantime, Trump has announced the cancellation of $ 26 billion from the federal funds promised by the states led by Democratic politicians. For example, in the state of New York, a bastion of the Democrats, $ 18 billion funds allocated for two projects to modernize public transport were frozen.

The presidential majority hope that a sufficient number of democratic senators will eventually give up and vote the draft of the budget law proposed by Republicans. Although the Republicans have a majority in both rooms of the Congress, by virtue of the Senate rules, the votes of at least eight democrats are needed in order to reach the required 60 votes to approve the budget.

However, the representatives of the Democratic Opposition do not show signs that they would give up, after only three of them joined the Republican majority.

In the ongoing negotiations, the Republicans propose a simple extension of the current budget until the end of November, while the Democrats demand the extension of public health insurance programs for needy persons, denouncing the drastic discounts of the health expenses imposed by the Trump administration.

In the case of an agreement, the situation will not be resolved earlier than Friday, as the Congress will not be reunited on Thursday.
