President Donald Trump will meet with top lawmakers in the House and Senate on Monday in a last-ditch effort to avert a shutdown set to go into effect on Sept. 30.
The meeting will include the two top-ranking Democrats, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.).
The meeting will be held at the White House a day before a shutdown is set to begin. Government funding will expire after midnight on Tuesday and so far, Washington is in a deadlock over what is included in the government funding bill, with both Democrats and Republicans refusing to budge from their positions.
