SHUTDOWN EXPLAINED LIVE | Why Trump’s America Came To A Halt At Midnight | Times Now World LIVE

#usgovernment #ussenate #TRUMP
The U.S. government shut down at midnight for the first time since 2019 after a bitter budget standoff between President Donald Trump and congressional Democrats over healthcare subsidies forced federal agencies to halt operations. Nearly 750,000 federal workers were furloughed, while essential staff such as air traffic controllers are required to work without pay. Republicans are pushing a temporary seven-week funding bill, while Democrats are holding out for a deal to preserve enhanced subsidies under the Affordable Care Act that cover 24 million Americans. With both sides locked in stalemate, no clear end to the shutdown is in sight.
