Lawmakers, including many Republicans, have not made that funding a top priority, as some question if a wall is necessary.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Congress will have about 12 working days when it returns on September 5 from its summer break to approve spending measures to keep the government open, while also facing a looming deadline to raise the cap on the amount the government may borrow. Both are must-approve measures.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"wp-image-36010 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/en.bornomalanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Screenshot_6-300x192.png\" alt=\"Screenshot_6\" width=\"745\" height=\"477\" srcset=\"https:\/\/en.bornomalanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Screenshot_6-300x192.png 300w, https:\/\/en.bornomalanews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Screenshot_6.png 505w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 745px) 100vw, 745px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">US stocks and the dollar weakened and investors pivoted to the safety of US Treasury securities on Wednesday after Trump\u2019s threat. The S&P 500 Index closed about 0.3% lower, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down by 0.4% and the Nasdaq Composite Index slid 0.3%.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-quote fb_iframe_widget\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Ryan suggested Congress would need to approve a short-term extension, or continuing resolution, of current funding levels so that the Senate could have more time to pass a full spending bill. That would push the budget battle to later in the year and could in turn delay attempts at tax reform, another signature Trump campaign issue.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Tensions with party leaders<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Friction between Republicans and Trump has grown in recent months, with the president publicly castigating some party leaders, notably Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, and expressing infuriation that Congress has not passed any significant legislation since his January inauguration.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">McConnell did not take a stand on the border wall issue on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">He said in a statement he and Trump were in regular contact and working together on a list of goals that included preventing a government default and funding government priorities \u201cin the short and long terms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cWe have a lot of work ahead of us, and we are committed to advancing our shared agenda together and anyone who suggests otherwise is clearly not part of the conversation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">A White House statement said Trump would hold \u201cpreviously scheduled meetings\u201d with McConnell once Congress returns to Washington and that Trump and McConnell \u201cremain united on many shared priorities, including middle class tax relief, strengthening the military, constructing a southern border wall, and other important issues.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Congress frequently has to pass funding extensions for a few weeks or months while it hammers out a full budget. Occasionally lawmakers have enter a standoff over a single issue, delaying agreement and forcing a shutdown. The most recent closure, which spanned 15 days in October 2013, was over funding for the Affordable Care Act, popularly known as Obamacare.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In opinion polls during and after that shutdown, voters loudly disapproved of the Republican Party, which controlled the House of Representatives at the time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Representative Tom Cole of Oklahoma, the Republican chairman of a House Appropriations subcommittee, said Trump\u2019s threatened move could backfire on the party.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cWhen you control the presidency, the Senate and the House, you\u2019re shutting down the government that you\u2019re running. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s smart politically and I don\u2019t think it would succeed practically,\u201d he told Reuters in an interview.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Ran on it, won it<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The White House stressed on Wednesday that Trump would work with Congress to get funding for the wall.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cThe president ran on it, won on it and plans to build it,\u201d said White House spokeswoman Natalie Strom.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The party\u2019s conservative wing backed the president\u2019s call for wall funding, with Representative Jim Jordan of Ohio, a founding member of the Freedom Caucus, telling Reuters any government shutdown would be caused by Senate Democrats.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Representative Adam Kinzinger, a Republican member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said, however, the threat was \u201cdangerous for our role in the world as we\u2019re talking to nations like Afghanistan to say: \u2018Here\u2019s how you govern yourself.'\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">He added it could also hurt financial markets\u2019 confidence in the United States.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cTrump saying he would be willing to shut down the government over the wall obviously doesn\u2019t really inspire much confidence in anyone,\u201d said Michael O\u2019Rourke, chief market strategist at JonesTrading in Greenwich, Connecticut.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The House passed a spending bill late last month that included funding for the wall. Republicans\u2019 slim majority in the Senate means Democrats are needed to pass most legislation and they have opposed including border wall funding in any fiscal 2018 spending bill.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Debt limit<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Congress also must periodically raise the debt limit to keep the US government borrowing and operating. Politicians sometimes take advantage of that need to push through policy or spending changes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The Treasury Department, already using \u201cextraordinary measures\u201d to remain current on its obligations, has said the debt limit must be raised by September 29. Trump has asked Congress to extend the limit with a \u201cclean\u201d bill that excludes any other provisions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Credit ratings agency Fitch said on Wednesday it would review the US sovereign debt rating, \u201cwith potentially negative implications,\u201d if the debt limit is not raised in a timely manner.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trump in a speech on Tuesday evening threatened a shutdown if Congress does not agree to fund constructing the wall, a signature promise of his presidential campaign President Donald Trump\u2019s fellow Republicans rebuked him on Wednesday after his threat to shut down the US government over funding for a border wall rattled markets and cast [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":36011,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[5],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.5 -
