President Donald Trump is preparing to effectively dare Democrats to shut down the government in a matter of weeks, taking a hard line against any major concessions ahead of negotiations over a must-pass funding bill.
The White House plans to reject any Democratic demands that key health provisions in the GOP’s domestic policy law be reversed as part of a budget package, aides said. And it will insist on retaining Trump’s authority to claw back funding at will — seeking to cement an extraordinary expansion of executive power that has already roiled lawmakers in both parties.
