Trump says U.S. lawmakers are close to resolution on government funding - The Hindu
The United States is facing another partial government shutdown as political disagreements over federal spending intensify. Former President Donald Trump has urged Republican lawmakers to reject temporary funding measures unless specific policy demands are met, placing pressure on Congress during ongoing budget negotiations. The standoff has disrupted several government departments, affecting federal workers, public services, and economic confidence. Lawmakers remain divided over how to balance spending cuts, immigration policies, and national priorities, while time-sensitive decisions continue to stall in Congress. Although essential services such as defense and emergency operations remain active, many non-essential agencies are operating with limited staff or have halted services altogether. Analysts warn that prolonged shutdowns can strain the economy, delay government programs, and reduce public trust in political leadership. As negotiations continue, uncertainty looms over how long the shutdown will last and whether bipartisan cooperation can restore full government operations.
