House Speaker Weighs Paying Troops as Shutdown Continue; Trump, Canadian PM Talk Trade at WH Meeting | NTD Good Morning
The government shutdown has entered day 8 as lawmakers remain at an impasse on a budget bill. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said on Tuesday that he's considering proposing a bill that would provide pay to military troops and air traffic controllers, but Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) said it's not needed yet. Also, a White House draft memo that had been circulated has led to controversy after questioning whether 'non-essential' federal employees currently furloughed are entitled to back pay.
President Donald Trump met with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney at the White House on Tuesday. The two leaders praised each other while acknowledging the natural business and industrial competition that arises from the two countries' proximity to each other. The United States still has a 50 percent tariff on Canadian steel and aluminum, as well as other tariffs on some cars, lumber, and copper. Trump said the two countries are now working on a formula for a potential tariff deal.
Federal officials are in Portland and Chicago this week. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem visited Portland, where she warned that more federal troops could be sent there if local leaders don't provide additional security. In Chicago, FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche highlighted a coordinated federal effort on crime and immigration. Officials in both cities have pushed back against the federal government.
