Shutdown Halts Some Health Services As Political Risks Test Parties' Resolve
Threats of a federal government shutdown have shifted from being an October surprise to a recurring issue. This time, however, the stakes are even higher. Federal funding ran out at midnight on Oct. 1, after Congress failed to pass even a stopgap budget while negotiations continued.
In the absence of an agreement between the Democrats and the Republicans on the budget, the United States entered into a complex situation on Wednesday, with the arrest of part of the federal administration, a first since 2018.
With Donald Trump more unyielding and aggressive towards the opposition, it is unknown how long the suspension of non-essential services will last.
The U.S. government has activated a new shutdown of government agencies (“shutdown”) in the face of a lack of consensus in the Senate to approve federal budgets, a situation that re-checks the functioning of the country and the stability of public employees. The disagreement between Democrats and Republicans has suspended all services considered non-essential and directly affects some 750,000 federal workers.
