The US may face a government shutdown starting October 1 after unsuccessful negotiations between the White House and the Democrats. Vice President J.D. Vance stated that the country is heading towards a “shutdown,“ blaming the opposition. Trump met with Congressional leaders 36 hours before the deadline, but no compromise was reached. Democrats demand to maintain subsidies under Obamacare and cancel Medicaid cuts, as well as insist on $350 billion to extend benefits. Republicans propose a temporary funding bill until November 21 without concessions in healthcare. A government shutdown would result in hundreds of thousands of federal employees being sent on unpaid leave. Trump threatened layoffs. The last “shutdown“ occurred in 2018–2019. @Slavyangrad Source: Slavyangrad
