政府停摆,无论大小,通常都是国会议员的核心议题——但随着国会重返华盛顿的多项议题,最近这次部分停摆可能被搁置一旁。

参议院民主党人和白宫在为国土安全部(DHS)提供资金方面仍存在分歧,停摆已进入第10天。双方均不肯让步,最近一次具体行动发生在上周初。

特朗普在1月份与纽约州民主党参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默达成资金休战协议方面发挥了关键作用,但此次并未直接参与近期谈判。

白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·利维特表示,特朗普最近没有与国会民主党人进行任何“直接对话或通信”,并指出白宫及其代表一直在处理相关对话。

“但民主党当然是国土安全部目前停摆的原因,”她说,“他们出于政治原因选择与美国人民作对。”

参议院民主党人对白宫提出的反提案进行了反驳,但利维特迅速将其斥为“不严肃”。这是一个特殊情况,因为这是特朗普第二届任期内的第三次停摆,双方似乎都不急于结束停摆。

南达科他州共和党参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩告诉福克斯新闻数字版,谈判中“有一些让步的空间”,但他仍坚定支持共和党反对要求移民和海关执法局(ICE)特工获得司法令状、身份暴露或民主党寻求的其他改革,这些改革可能会增加一线特工的风险。

“我觉得,你知道,白宫上次提出的方案确实——是一个真诚的方案,我很清楚他们正在尽一切努力促成此事,以便我们能够为国土安全部提供资金,”图恩说。

为该机构提供资金将是上议院的首要任务,但由于东海岸遭遇冬季风暴,投票将推迟。天气原因导致参议院将原定于特朗普国情咨文演讲前的国土安全部支出法案投票推迟至周二晚上。

其他可能阻碍达成协议的问题包括与伊朗的潜在冲突以及特朗普希望在没有国会批准的情况下推进关税政策。

特朗普周五告诉记者,他正在“考虑”对伊朗发动有限军事打击,这已经激怒了国会一些人,他们要求议员们就美国是否发动打击拥有决定权。

弗吉尼亚州民主党参议员蒂姆·凯恩在一份声明中表示,他已提交并准备好阻止对伊朗发动袭击的战争权力决议案,并挑战同事们投票反对该决议。

“如果我的一些同事支持战争,那么他们应该有勇气投票支持战争,并由其选民负责,而不是躲在桌子底下,”凯恩说。

在最高法院裁定推翻其全面职权后,特朗普正考虑绕过国会推进另一套全球10%关税政策。

与此同时,一些共和党人正在悄悄庆祝这些关税的终结,另一些人则愿意与政府合作制定贸易政策前进道路。

关于关税,一位共和党助手告诉福克斯新闻,共和党正在“等待看看总统下一步行动”。

“国情咨文演讲应该会很有趣,”他们说。

Trump administration, Democrats deadlocked on DHS funding amid shutdown | Fox News

A government shutdown, big or small, is usually a front-and-center issue for lawmakers — but the most recent partial closure could be put on the back burner as Congress returns to several issues in Washington.

Senate Democrats and the White House are still at odds over funding the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), as the shutdown dragged into its 10th day. Neither side is budging, with the most recent concrete action coming early last week.

Trump, who proved pivotal in striking a funding truce with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., in January, was not directly involved in recent negotiations.

Trump has not had any “direct conversations or correspondence” with congressional Democrats recently, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said, noting that the White House and its representatives have been handling the dialogue.

“But, of course, Democrats are the reason that the Department of Homeland Security is currently shut down,” she said. “They have chosen to act against the American people for political reasons.”

Senate Democrats offered a counter to the White House’s own counterproposal, which quickly was rejected as “unserious” by Leavitt. It’s a peculiar instance, given that this is the third shutdown during Trump’s second term, and neither side appears to be in a particular rush to end it.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., told Fox News Digital that there’s “some room for give and take” in the negotiations, but remained firm in the GOP’s positioning against requiring Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents from getting judicial warrants, unmasking or other reforms sought by Democrats that could increase risks for agents in the field.

“I felt like, you know, the last offer the White House put out there was a really — it was a good faith one, and it was clear to me that they’re attempting, in every way, to try and land this thing so we can get DHS funded,” Thune said.

Funding the agency will be a top priority for the upper chamber, but they’ll be delayed because of winter storms descending on the East Coast. The weather has caused the Senate to delay a vote on the original DHS spending bill until Tuesday night, ahead of Trump’s State of the Union address.

There are other issues that could get in the way of hashing out a deal, including a possible conflict with Iran and Trump’s desire to move ahead with tariffs without congressional approval.

Trump told reporters Friday that he was “considering” a limited military strike against Iran, which already has riled up some in Congress, who are demanding that lawmakers get a say on whether the U.S. strikes.

Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., said in a statement that he has a war powers resolution to block an attack on Iran filed and ready, and challenged his colleagues to vote against it.

“If some of my colleagues support war, then they should have the guts to vote for the war and to be held accountable by their constituents, rather than hiding under their desks,” Kaine said.

On the heels of the Supreme Court’s ruling to torpedo his sweeping duties, Trump is considering bypassing Congress to move ahead with another set of global 10% tariffs.

That comes as some Republicans are quietly celebrating the end of the duties, and others are open to working with the administration on a path forward for trade policy.

On tariffs, a Republican aide told Fox News that the GOP was “waiting to see what POTUS does next.”

“The State of the Union should be interesting,” they said.
