Trump Warns of Shutdown, White House Threatens Layoffs

The government might shut down because Democrats and the White House disagree on spending.

The White House is planning to fire many federal workers.

This is different from temporary furloughs.

Democrats disagree with Republicans' proposals, especially about healthcare.

If the government shuts down, many government services will stop, and workers will be without pay.

Democrats called the White House's actions intimidating and out of control.

This follows a trend of shutdown battles in Washington.
