Government Shutdown Averted, but Uncertainty Remains
Washington, D.C. – The U.S. federal government partially shut down early Saturday morning, despite a last-minute funding deal approved by the Senate, according to BBC World. The funding lapse began at midnight US eastern time (05:00 GMT), hours after senators agreed to fund most agencies until September.
The approved bill included only two weeks of funding for the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees immigration enforcement, instead of shutting it down entirely, BBC World reported. The House of Representatives, however, was out of session and had yet to approve the bill.
The agreement came after President Donald Trump struck a deal with Democrats, who had resisted providing additional funding for immigration enforcement following a fatal shooting, according to BBC World. Trump's trade policies, which introduced tariffs on countries he deemed unfavorable, have also contributed to global political uncertainty, according to BBC Business.
The situation highlights the ongoing political tensions surrounding budget negotiations and immigration policy in the United States. The short-term funding extension for the Department of Homeland Security suggests that further debates and negotiations are likely in the coming weeks.
