美国有线新闻 CNN 美国政府重启三周 特朗普威胁再次让政府关门(在线收听) |
Moving to North America where the partial shutdown of the U.S. government has ended, at least for a few weeks. President Donald Trump announced the news on Friday. The agreement reached between him and Congress does not include funding for the barrier between the U.S. and Mexico that Republicans and the president wanted. But he indicated that he'd still move ahead with his plans to build it if Congress does not reach an agreement on wall funding in the weeks ahead. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: The government will either shutdown on February 15th again, or I will use the powers afforded to me under the laws and the Constitution of the United States to address this emergency. CARL AZUZ: There are still some question marks about what happens next because even though Democrats and Republicans will be working on a border security compromise in the weeks ahead. Democratic leaders like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi say funding for a wall will not be part of it and they say another partial government shutdown shouldn't either. SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI: Disagreement in policy should never be a reason to shutdown government, really shouldn't especially again for a period of time that has an impact on the paychecks. And I'm sad it's taken this long. I'm glad that we've come to a conclusion today as to how we go forward. CARL AZUZ: As far as it goes for the Federal employees who were directly effected by the shutdown, the president said that all of them would receive pay for the time they missed. |
