Fears of a US gov’t shutdown as Republicans block spending bill
Aljazeera says the United States is facing a potential federal government shutdown by the end of the week after Senate Republicans on Monday blocked an emergency spending bill.
The legislation by President Joe Biden’s Democrats was aimed at averting a government shutdown by a Thursday deadline and a federal debt default by mid to late October.
If left unaddressed, the two-fast approaching deadlines threaten to destabilise the US economy as it struggles to emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic.
