On January 20,2018 the government shutdown and will not restart till a funding deal is reached. Conversations between President Trump and Sen. Chuck Schumer demonstrate the unpredictability of Trump and how far Schumer will go to negotiate a deal. The midday negotiations have yet to yield a plan that could avoid shutdown. Thirteen hours after Trump first called Schumer, the government ran out of funding.
Trump and Schumer previously held a meeting last Friday to keep the government open. Neither sid wanted a shut down, they agreed. "We had a long and detailed meeting, we discussed all of the major outstanding issues. We made some progress but we still have a good number of disagreements," Schumer said. I think the government shutdown is a very big deal and will come to a decision soon. Many people can be affected by the shutdown.
