Trump Urges Congress to End Shutdown "WITHOUT DELAY" Amid Funding Standoff

  • US President Donald Trump pressed the House to quickly pass a spending bill to end the three-day government shutdown.
  • Trump urged Congress to send the bill to his desk "WITHOUT DELAY" via a Truth Social post, emphasizing no changes.
  • The shutdown began due to collapsed negotiations and Democratic anger over the killing of two protesters in Minneapolis by federal immigration agents, stalling DHS funding talks.
  • The Senate approved a package to fund most federal agencies and a two-week stopgap for DHS, but conservative Republicans criticize it.
  • House Speaker Mike Johnson faces a razor-thin majority, potentially needing Democratic votes to pass the bill and avoid another long shutdown.

Why It Matters: Trump demands immediate congressional action to end the government shutdown, warning against further delays and changes.
