Trump administration faces financial crisis as partial shutdown begins

The Trump administration has once again plunged into a financial crisis as federal departments in the United States ran out of funding, triggering a partial government shutdown on Sunday.

According to the 24NewsHD TV channel, the deadline for the approval of this year’s federal budget expired late last night, leaving many government operations partially suspended.

While the Senate has already approved a funding package, it still requires ratification from the House of Representatives to restore normal government functioning.

Officials warned that the partial shutdown would affect numerous federal services and programs until a resolution is reached, potentially causing disruptions across multiple sectors.

Lawmakers from both parties are under pressure to negotiate and approve the budget to prevent an extended shutdown and minimise the impact on federal employees and public services.
