On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump addressed reporters at the White House and announced that his administration plans to unveil a list of 'Democrat programs' that will be permanently closed as a result of the current federal government shutdown.

The exact programs included in this list have not been specified by Trump.

The government shutdown entered its third week on Tuesday, with both Republican and Democratic lawmakers pointing fingers at each other for the stalemate.

The Senate attempted to pass legislation last month approved by the House of Representatives, which aimed to end the shutdown by providing government funding through November 21.

However, this attempt failed, as the required 60 votes in the 100-member Senate controlled by Republicans were not secured.

The vote resulted in a 49-45 advancement of the bill.

In response to the ongoing impasse, Senate Democrats have been pushing for their legislative leverage to advocate for healthcare fixes by withholding necessary votes for a stopgap funding bill.

Senator Tim Kaine (D-Virginia) emphasized that resolving the shutdown could be achieved within 48 hours if President Trump engages in negotiations with Democrats.

While some federal workers and military personnel are facing the prospect of missing paychecks due to the shutdown, the Trump administration has stated that it will redirect funds to ensure that troops' pay is not interrupted.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-South Dakota) did not allow a vote on a Democratic alternative proposal that would have reopened the government with temporary funding while also including money for a permanent extension of a federal healthcare tax credit, which is opposed by Republicans.

The situation remains unresolved as both sides continue to place blame and negotiate their positions.
