U.S. President Donald Trump warned congressional Democrats on Tuesday that his administration would take “irreversible” actions, including mass firings of federal workers, if they allow government funding to expire at midnight.
“We can do things during the shutdown that are irreversible, that are bad for them and irreversible by them, like cutting vast numbers of people out, cutting things that they like, cutting programs that they like,” Trump told reporters from the White House Oval Office.
