The White House tightened its pressure on congressional Democrats as a US government shutdown lurched into a second week, saying it would soon trigger federal worker layoffs without specifying when those could begin.
President Donald Trump spoke with top congressional Republicans Monday and administration officials are working with agency heads on layoff plans, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters.
“If this shutdown continues, layoffs are going to be unfortunate consequence of that,” Leavitt said Monday, declining to give a timeline for when the White House would announce layoffs.
