AP News:特朗普就任一周年政府关门

2018-01-23来源:和谐英语

This is AP News Minute.

It's day 2 the federal government shut down and Senate leaders offered no obvious solution to reopening the government. Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer said he would continue to lead a filibuster of a stop-gap spending measure while majority leader Mitch Mcconnell placed blame on democrats. A compromise hinges on a deal to protect the so-called dreamers who had been shielded against deportation after being brought into the country as minors.

Vice president Mike Pence scolded democrats over the shutdown speaking to US troops in Jordan on Sunday. Pence also met with Jordan's king Abdullah to talk about Mideast peace. Abdullah appealed to Pence, urging a restoration of trust and confidence following the Trump administration's decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

Marking the one-year anniversary of the Trump presidency, women's marches continued around the world Sunday. In Paris, protesters gathered at the Eiffel Tower to rally against sexual misconduct and discrimination. In Las Vegas, groups are using the march to launch an effort to register new voters in swing states in hope of shifting control of Congress later this year.

And the Pope is in Peru wrapping up a trip marked by violent demonstrations. In a Sunday mass, the Pope urged followers to remain faithful and to not give up.
