US government shutdown crisis approaches, Trump to meet with top congressional leaders

BlockBeats News, September 28, according to CNBC, the U.S. government will run out of funds on September 30, threatening the jobs of millions of federal workers. Congress must pass or extend a spending bill by October 1 to prevent a government shutdown. Trump will meet with top congressional leaders on September 29, including Senate Minority Leader Schumer, House Minority Leader Jeffries, Speaker of the House Johnson, and Senate Majority Leader Thune.

It is worth noting that the previous temporary spending bill to avoid a U.S. government shutdown failed to pass in the Senate. On the 26th, Trump stated, "If the government has to shut down, then let it shut down." Deutsche Bank analyst Jim Reid pointed out, "We may see the first government shutdown since the winter of 2018-19."
