WASHINGTON, Jan. 19 -- White House is preparing for a government shutdown, as the chances of a short-term government funding bill passed by the Senate are dimmed, said a White House official on Friday.
"OMB is preparing for what we're calling the Schumer Shutdown," said White House Office of Management and Budget Director (OMB) Mick Mulvaney at a press briefing on Friday.
The White House is blaming Senate Democratic leader Charles Schumer standing in the way for the Senate to pass the stopgap spending bill which has already been approved by the House of Representatives on Thursday night on largely party lines.
Before the briefing, Mulvaney told a group of White House reporters that the White House had told a bunch of administrative agencies to implement lapse plan, which means that they should prepare for a government shutdown.
Mulvaney reiterated at the press briefing that the White House does not want a shutdown.
The federal government is running on its third temporary spending bill since fiscal year 2018 which began on Oct. 1, last year. The current funding measure expires at Friday midnight.
The White House on Friday confirmed that President Trump canceled his trip to Florida and met with Senator Schumer in order to secure a deal to avoid government shutdown.
Nancy Pelosi, the House minority leader, said on Friday that she hopes that Schumer will be able to find out an immigration bill that Trump will support.
After the meeting, Schumer told reporters that they made some progress but still have "a good number of disagreements" .
Democrat lawmakers are demanding a spending deal should include protections for young immigrants known as "Dreamers" brought to U.S. as children. However, Republicans who control both chambers of the Congress want to discuss an immigration bill separately.
The last government shutdown occurred in 2013 when Republican lawmakers unsuccessfully tried to defund the Affordable Care Act.
