The US Senate failed to stop the government shutdown for the 11th time – Mehr news agency RCO News Agency

According to Mehr news agency, quoted from the network Russia Yesterday, the US Senate failed to pass a proposed funding package aimed at ending the federal government shutdown.

This lack of agreement has caused the government shutdown crisis that started last weeks to continue.

The US government shutdown has had a direct and heavy impact on federal employees. According to estimates by the Congressional Budget Office, up to 750,000 government employees face mandatory furloughs and will not receive any pay until the budget is passed. Meanwhile, about 700,000 other workers whose services are considered essential continue to work without pay. A few days ago, for the first time, federal employees did not receive their salaries, which has put severe financial pressure on them and their families.

The US government shutdown has also disrupted a wide range of public services. Also, air traffic control has faced serious problems. The Aerospace Industries Association warned that the shutdown would disrupt new programs, stifle innovation and slow down the Federal Aviation Administration. In addition, the issuance of passports and visas has faced significant delays.

In addition, the US government shutdown has significant economic effects. Experts estimate that the shutdown could reduce GDP growth by 0.15 percent. Considering that the shutdown continues, this number can increase. Additionally, the federal budget deficit, which will reach $1.775 trillion in fiscal year 2025, continues to raise concerns. Referring to this figure, the Trump administration argues that it is necessary to cut costs and shrink the government.

One of the most controversial aspects of the shutdown is the Trump administration’s decision to cut or suspend funding for infrastructure projects in Democratic-controlled cities. On the first day of the holiday, “Ras Wootannounced that about 18 billion dollars from the budget of infrastructure projects in New York, including the tunnel project Hudson And the second street subway has been suspended. Also, $8 billion from climate-related projects in 16 states that will go to Kamala in the 2024 election Harris They voted, it has been interrupted. Additionally, $2.1 billion in funding for Chicago infrastructure projects has also been suspended.

The shutdown of the American government does not only have domestic effects, but it also affects the foreign policy and the international position of the United States. In the middle of this crisis, Trump withVolodymyr ZelenskyHe also met and had a phone call with Vladimir Putin in the White House. The diplomatic moves come at a time when much of the federal government is shut down and State Department employees are on mandatory leave.

A shutdown would also negatively affect foreign aid programs, military operations, and America’s ability to respond to international crises. This can weaken America’s position on the world stage and reduce the trust of allies.
