At midnight on January 31 (8:00 Moscow time), a partial shutdown of the federal government began in the United States due to a lack of funding. American media reports that it will be removed early next week.
On January 30, the Senate (the upper house of Congress) approved a package of laws intended to fund the work of most federal agencies, including the Pentagon, the State Department, the departments of the Treasury, Labor, Health and some other departments, until the end of the fiscal year, which is celebrated in the country on September 30.
However, since the financing of the Ministry of Basic Security (MoS) was excluded from the package, at the request of the representatives of the Democratic Party, the laws passed in the Senate must also be approved by the House of Representatives of the Congress. Then, they will be forwarded to the President of the country, Donald Trump, for signing.
