President Trump offered no plan for health care costs, which have been a sticking point in ending a government shutdown, and says it will end when Democrats give in.

Trump has urged Senate Republicans to choose a dramatic strategy as the 2025 government shutdown threatens to become the longest in history.

In shutdowns past — including during Trump’s first term — presidents normally scaled back their schedules. With staffers deemed “non-essential” sent home, the White House often sought to appear sympathetic to Americans affected by disruptions to health care, veterans benefits and other key services.

After the government had been shut down for nearly a month, a conspicuously quiet President Donald Trump finally weighed in with a prescription for how to end it.
