U.S. government shutdown entering fifth week: 川普阻止眾議院議長佩洛西出訪海外，直到政府重新開放

U.S. government shutdown entering fifth week

President Trump, faced with increasing backlash over the longest shutdown in U.S. history, made an offer over the weekend: temporary protections for roughly 700,000 young undocumented immigrants, known as “Dreamers,” in exchange for $5.7 billion in funding for his border wall.

Democrats called it “hostage taking” and refused to negotiate until the government reopens.

Some of the 800,000 furloughed federal employees are turning to pawnshops and brokers for short-term loans.

Go deeper: People who have done business with Mr. Trump over the years say his uncompromising fixation on a southern border wall is consistent with the negotiating tactics he used for decades in the private sector, focused foremost on claiming victory.

川普阻止眾議院議長佩洛西出訪海外，直到政府重新開放

美國總統川普拒絕眾議院議長佩洛西使用軍用飛機，以此阻止她的海外之行。佩洛西昨天建議推遲川普的國情諮文演講，直到政府重新開放。據一名民主黨助理，佩洛西和一群委員會主席及其他議員原定於週四出發，進行一次為期六天的出訪。川普無權阻止佩洛西出訪，但行政部門通常會為國會人員外出提供軍用交通工具，而川普選擇不為佩洛西此行提供交通工具。五角大樓在政府部分停擺期間仍具有充足的資金。
