White House: Any government shutdown would lead to disruption across the country
The White House on Wednesday accused the Republican opposition of playing political games by jeopardizing a bipartisan agreement in Congress to avoid a government shutdown, warning of unrest across the country if the text, which President-elect Donald Trump has just opposed, isn’t passed.
According to the White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement, “Republicans must stop playing politics with this bipartisan agreement, or they will hurt hard-working Americans and create instability across the country”.
