President Donald Trump warned on Thursday that a potential U.S. government shutdown might lead to increased taxes for Americans, as it would hinder his tax cut proposal.

The House of Representatives, under Republican control, has already passed a temporary funding measure to keep the government operational, but the bill's progression is stalled in the Senate.
