Trump hosts Senate Republicans at the newly revamped Rose Garden Club
With the shutdown stretching into a fourth week, President Donald Trump flaunted White House renovations while hosting Senate Republicans in the revamped Rose Garden, as the standoff over government funding showed no signs of ending.
As featured on
As the government shutdown enters its fourth week, President Donald Trump is welcoming Senate Republicans for lunch at the White House. It's not for urgent talks on how to end the shutdown, but a celebratory display of unity as they refuse to negotiate on Democratic demands for health care funds. Trump is praising GOP leaders by name. But Senate Democrats are also expressing confidence in their strategy to keep voting against a House-passed bill that would reopen the government until Trump and other Republicans engage them. Democrats want to extend health care subsidies that are expiring.
