Democrats, Republicans and administration officials left a meeting at the White House pointing fingers at each other and seemingly no closer to averting a government shutdown at the end of Tuesday.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), standing with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), said leaders “have very large differences” on key issues, including the health care provisions Democrats have been demanding and Trump’s ability to claw back previously appropriated funds.

Vice President Vance, meanwhile, accused Democrats of making unreasonable demands and said, “I think we’re headed to a shutdown.”

Government funding expires on Tuesday at 11:59 p.m.

Also on Monday, Trump met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the White House and discussed a new 20-point proposal for a ceasefire in Gaza, which would have Trump chair an international “board of peace” to govern and reconstruct the Gaza Strip.
