Government shutdown updates: Leavitt says Trump exploring cutting aid to Portland

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said they are "very close" to all sides agreeing to a comprehensive plan to end the war in Gaza. The comments come as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to visit the White House on Monday, during which he and President Donald Trump are expected to discuss the proposed deal.

"As you know, the president has been working tirelessly on this effort to bring this war in Gaza and to bring this conflict in the Middle East to an end. He wants to see all of the hostages released," Leavitt told reporters on Monday.

Leavitt said that U.S. special envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff "sent a very detailed 21-point plan to both sides" and that Trump "expects both sides to agree."

"The president knows and believes that this is as good of a plan as these sides are going to see, and that's why it's 21 points," Leavitt said.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said that there's "nothing to negotiate" ahead of President Donald Trump's meeting with bipartisan congressional leadership on Monday as the administration is lobbying heavily for lawmakers to pass a clean continuing resolution to avoid a government shutdown.

"Our message and what we want out of this is very simple. The president wants to keep the government open. He wants to keep the government funded. There is zero good reason for Democrats to vote against this clean continuing resolution. The president is giving Democrats one last chance to be reasonable today," Leavitt said on Monday.

When asked by reporters whether Trump was planning to negotiate with leadership, Leavitt said there's "nothing to negotiate."

During an appearance on Fox News, Leavitt said that passing a clean continuing resolution is the "reasonable" thing to do and indicated that Trump will send that message to the Democrats at the White House on Monday.

President Donald Trump announced that he's imposing a 100% tariff on movies made outside of the United States in a social media post on Monday.

"Our movie making business has been stolen from the United States of America, by other Countries, just like stealing 'candy from a baby,'" Trump said in the post.

Trump also took the moment to take a swipe at California Gov. Gavin Newsom, saying that California has been "hard hit" by films made outside the U.S.
