President Donald Trump has accused Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of demanding more than $1 billion in funding as a condition to approve his administration's nominees, escalating tensions between the executive branch and the Senate. This dispute has contributed to a failure in reaching a deal on nominee confirmations, with Trump reportedly telling Schumer to "go to hell" amid stalled negotiations. Senate discussions have intensified, with Schumer calling for a "big four" meeting to resolve the impasse. Meanwhile, Senator Chuck Grassley criticized the hold on three Trump Treasury nominees. In a related development, the Trump administration announced plans to reduce terrorism prevention funding for New York City shortly after a gunman killed four people in a Manhattan skyscraper. Trump reiterated his threat to withhold funds from New York, emphasizing the need for further government spending cuts. The debate over federal funding and nominee approvals highlights ongoing friction between the Trump administration and congressional leaders.
