Trump: A Shutdown Is 'likely' In The US

The new fiscal year in the U.S. begins Oct. 1, but the budget has not yet been passed.

US President Donald Trump has warned of a possible shutdown, but emphasized that it can be avoided. At the White House, he said the situation is not inevitable, but the likelihood of a shutdown is high.

The new fiscal year in the US begins on October 1, but the budget has not yet been passed. If Congress fails to approve a temporary resolution to fund the government in time, federal agencies could shut down.

As Reuters writes, a specific cause of discord in the government has been the health care bill for Americans. Democrats are trying to introduce a bill that would extend it, which expires at the end of the year.

The last U.S. government shutdown occurred in 2018 during Donald Trump's first term. The shutdown lasted 35 days and was the longest in the history of the United States.
