What’s Next For The Shutdown? And Trump Announces New Tariffs - The Hill | NEWSNATION

President Trump on Friday said the ongoing layoffs of furloughed federal workers amid the government shutdown will be “Democrat-oriented.” “And it will be Democrat-oriented, because we figure, you know, they started this thing,” he said in the Oval Office about the firings and shutdown. “It’ll be a lot.” The administration offered no specifics on which agencies or how many people would be affected when it announced the layoffs earlier Friday. But at least 4,100 government employees were already laid off. Also on the program: President Trump announced Friday he will raise tariffs on China in response to a move from Beijing to tighten its control over certain critical minerals and rare earth elements.

China controls roughly 70 percent of the world’s rare metals and earths. READ MORE on Trump's Tariffs on China: https://thehill.com/homenews/administ...
