Trump's comments come in the wake of the collapse of both the Democrats' and Mike Johnson’s government spending bill, which has led Congress to deliberate a new piece of legislation known as the “American Relief Act of 2024.” The bill seeks to prevent a government shutdown while addressing issues such as disaster relief for areas affected by Hurricanes Helene and Milton, as well as supporting farmers.
