USA: Shutdown comes into force – Trump threatens consequences

For the first time in more than six years, the USA is back in Shut down: A budget lock came into force on Wednesday at midnight East Coast period (6:00 a.m. CEST). Previously, the Republicans of US President Donald Trump and the opposition Democrats could not agree on a transitional budget on Tuesday.

How long the shutdown lasts depends on an agreement on both sides. The Senate is shooting votes again on Wednesday. The House of Representatives – the other Chamber of Parliament – would not actually meet this week. In view of the circumstances, this could happen unscheduled.

With the Shut down Numerous civil servants are sent on the forced vacation. As a result, there are usually considerable restrictions in federal administration, impairments in air traffic and public institutions such as national parks and state museums. Exceptional services such as air traffic control, the police and emergency services in hospitals are excluded.

Banging apple is the health care in the United States on which the focus of the Democrats is. Among other things, they call for the recesses with the Medicaid pension program to take back for low -income people. These incisions were part of a large tax law that was among Trump’s highest priorities – and so it should annoy the Republicans if they only have to take the first points a few months after it was passed.

After the failure of the negotiations, the US budgetary office had instructed the federal authorities concerned to implement their plans for “orderly” decommissioning the government transactions. How long the shutdown will last is uncertain, said head of the agency Russell Vough. Further instructions would follow as soon as Trump signed a law to provide funds.

VOUGHT is considered an important string puller in the Trump government. According to the US media, the budgetary office he had already instructed to consider permanent job cancellations before the shutdown federal authorities – in accordance with Trump’s rigorous austerity course, as a result in his first months of office, numerous civil servants. In his letter, VOUGHT blamed the opposing democrats for the situation and spoke of “insane political demands” of the opposite side.

US President Donald Trump warned the Democrats in the Congress on Tuesday about irreversible consequences of a government arrest. “During the shutdown, we can do things that are irreversible that are bad for you and that you cannot withdraw, such as released a large number of people, paint things that you like, paint programs that you like,” said Trump in front of reporters in the White House.

Trump and his government have repeatedly claimed in the past few days-and according to fact checks of several US media without the basis-democratic budget drafts have been used for health care for migrants without papers. The spokeswoman for the White House, Karoline Leavitt, wrote on Tuesday evening at X, the Democrats presented “illegal foreigners” about American citizens.

Democrats vehemently reject this representation. “Not a single dollar from federal funds flows into health insurance for immigrants without papers, “wrote the democratic minority leader, Chuck Schumer, at X. Rather, it was the Republicans who are ready to paralyze the government instead of protecting the health care of the Americans.

It is the first shutdown since the year 2018/2019, while Trump’s first term. At that time the budget lock lasted 35 days, it was the longest. The background was a dispute over the financing of the border wall in Mexico.
