Trump Rejects Democratic Demands on Immigrant Care and Transgender Interventions in Budget Negotiations
President Donald Trump confirmed that he will not agree to
the conditions put forward by the Democratic bloc in federal budget talks, even
if it means risking a government shutdown.
According to his statements, Democrats have requested that
the funding bill include funding for gender reassignment surgeries for minors
and to expand health care coverage for undocumented immigrants, points that the
former president described as "excessive and unacceptable."
"They asked us to do something totally unreasonable.
They never change; they want to give money away to undocumented immigrants...
and we don't want to do that," Trump said when asked about the
negotiations.
The issue has ignited a new focus of political confrontation
in Washington, where disputes over public spending often become weapons of
pressure between the White House and Congress. For Democrats, these measures
represent compromises on human rights and access to healthcare, despite being a
position widely supported by citizens; for Trump and his Republican allies,
however, they represent ideological concessions that impose an unacceptable
cost on the treasury.
Analysts point out that this episode reinforces Trump's
strategy of positioning himself as a defender of cultural and fiscal
conservatism in the face of what he describes as "progressive
excesses." However, the possibility of a new government shutdown is
causing concern among federal agencies, public workers, and economic sectors
dependent on the federal budget.
