Trump signals possible talks with Democrats on health care subsidies amid shutdown
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Monday he may be open to negotiating with Democrats on health care subsidies, a key sticking point in the ongoing government shutdown. The remarks marked one of the first signs of potential movement in the six-day stalemate, though both parties remain far apart on terms to reopen the government. Trump told reporters that talks could lead to “very good things” on health care but also criticized the subsidies as wasteful. Democratic leaders Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries denied any active negotiations, saying the White House had not engaged since last week. Senate Majority Leader John Thune said progress may depend on the president’s stance regarding the Affordable Care Act subsidies central to Democrats’ demands.
