After unsuccessful negotiations between the White House and the Democrats, the United States may face a government shutdown tomorrow - a shutdown. This was announced today, September 30, by Vice President Jay Dee Vance, blaming the opposition for this.
US President Donald Trump met with Congressional leaders 36 hours before the deadline, but no compromise was found. Democrats demand to keep subsidies under Obamacare and cancel Medicaid cuts, and also insist on $ 350 billion to extend benefits. Republicans are proposing a temporary funding bill until November 21 without concessions in the healthcare sector.
The government shutdown will send hundreds of thousands of federal officials on unpaid leave. Trump has already threatened layoffs.
The last shutdown in the USA occurred in 2018-2019.
