Government closed and the week in charge of the Ultimatum of Hamas Mark Trump

The government’s closure highlighted President Donald Trump’s whirlwind, Senate legislators do not reach a budget agreement in a dead end which should stimulate the “thousands” of federal dismissals.

The judgment entered into force after the stopwatch hit midnight on Wednesday and continued since. Trump defended earlier in the week that he did not want a stop to stop the government, but noticed that “good” could flow while he seeks to further reduce government size.

“Lots of good can be descended from the closures,” he said on Tuesday. “We can get rid of many things we didn’t want, and they would be democratic things. But they want open borders. They want men to play in female sports. They want transgender for everyone. They never stop. They don’t learn. We have won an election in a landslide.”

The “thousands” of federal employees are expected to face the layoffs, according to the white house press secretary Karoline Leavitt, while Trump met the head of management and the head of budget Russell Vought on Thursday to trace which agencies and programs could be targeted.

House legislators adopted a short -term extension earlier in September for funding for the 2025 financial year, aimed at maintaining the government open until November 21. Senate legislators, however, could not conclude an agreement on the budget before the deadline of October 1, causing the closure.

The Democrats expressed their frustration that they were sidelined by spending negotiations, as well as the GOP bill excluding the improved subsidies of Obamacare from the Biden era which should be launched at the end of 2025.

Karoline Leavitt warns that the Democrats face

The Trump administration and the Republicans have since pinned the blame for the closure on Democrats who push to include medical services funded by taxpayers for illegal immigrants. Democrats have denied the assertions and pinned the republicans’ blame for the closure.

It is not known how long the closure will last while the Senate arrives on the deadlock on the votes.

Trump’s Hamas Ultimatum

Apart from Capitol Hill buzzing on the closure, Trump also gave Hamas terrorists until Sunday to reach a peace agreement while the war with Israel, which began on October 7, 2023, continues to rage. Trump met Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the White House on Monday, where he announced a 20 -point plan to end the Gaza War.

Hamas is now left to accept the plan or to face the military anger of Israel.

“They will receive one last chance,” said Trump in a social position on Friday. “This agreement also spares the life of all the fighters of the remaining Hamas!”

“We will have peace in the Middle East in one way or another. Blood violence and effusion will stop,” added Trump. “Release the hostages, all, including the bodies of those who died, now! An agreement must be concluded with Hamas on Sunday evening at six (6) PM, Washington, DC Time.”

Hegseth, Trump meets the best military brass

American generals around the world have been summoned to meet with the war secretary Pete Hegseth and Trump at the base of the Marine Corp Quantico in Virginia on Tuesday, when Trump celebrated “revolutionary the spirit of the warrior” within the army.

“We focus on physical form, capacity, character and strength,” Trump said on Tuesday. “And it is because the goal of the American army is not to protect the feelings of anyone. It is to protect our Republic.”

Trump criticized the recent army transition to political correction.

“The apparatus of our country has not been set up for merit,” said Trump. “It has been set up for politically correct. And you can never be great if you are going to do it.”

“We will not be politically correct with regard to the defense of American freedom, and we will be a combat and victory machine,” he continued. “We want to fight. We want to win, and we want to fight as little as possible.”

We in a “non -international armed conflict” with drug cartels

The Trump administration also sent a memo to Congress on Thursday explaining that the United States is now “in a non-international armed conflict” with drug cartels, which administration officials have appointed “terrorist organizations”.

“The President has directed these actions in accordance with his responsibility to protect the Americans and the interests of the United States abroad and in the pursuit of the interests of national security and foreign policy in the United States, in accordance with his constitutional authority as commander-in-chief and chief executive to lead foreign relations,” said the memo.

The White House said that the memo had been laid after a September 15 strike on “a designated terrorist organization”.

The memo follows Trump promising to release the US military to drug cartels in the middle of an accumulation in the Caribbean in August, and signed a series of American military strikes against alleged drug ships in Venezuela to fight the flow of illegal drugs in the United States
