Trump urges ‘no changes’ to spending bill to end 3-day government shutdown

President Trump urged the House of Representatives to pass a spending bill without changes to end the three-day government shutdown. The shutdown resulted from failed negotiations due to Democratic opposition over a controversial incident involving federal agents. The Senate previously passed a package including funding bills for federal agencies and a short-term measure for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Despite some Republican opposition, Trump called for immediate passage of the bill to avoid another lengthy and damaging shutdown. He stated that concerns could be addressed later, but the immediate priority was to restore government operations. The bill aims to fund the government until September, with a two-week extension for DHS while immigration enforcement policies are negotiated.
