Live | Government shutdown begins as lawmakers fail to reach deal to extend funding | US News #HindustanTimes

The White House budget office has ordered federal agencies to implement shutdown plans after Congress failed to pass a funding bill, putting the government on track to shut down after midnight. On September 30, President Donald Trump suggested a shutdown could be used as political leverage against Democrats, warning of irreversible cuts to programs they support.

Trump praised budget director Russell Vought for his cost-cutting ability, telling reporters that Democrats are “taking a risk by having a shutdown.” With both sides entrenched, the standoff sets the stage for one of the most high-stakes shutdown battles in years.
