shutdown
Ein teilweiser Stillstand der Regierungsgeschäfte in den USA ist vorerst abgewendet. Nach dem Repräsentantenhaus verabschiedete auch der Senat ein Gesetz, das die Finanzierung der Regierung vorerst sicherstellt und einen sogenannten Shutdown verhindert - allerdings nur für kurze Zeit. US-Präsident Joe Biden muss das Gesetz noch unterschreiben, dies gilt aber als Formalie. Es handelt sich um eine Verlängerung der geltenden Vorgaben für Regierungsausgaben und somit nur um eine Übergangsregelung - inzwischen die vierte in Folge. Denn das gespaltene Parlament kann sich seit September nicht auf ein...

Washington (AFP) - The US Congress passed an 11th-hour funding bill Saturday to keep federal agencies running for another 45 days and avert a costly government shutdown -- although the deal left out aid to war-torn Ukraine requested by President Joe Biden. Three hours before the midnight deadline, the Senate voted to keep the lights on through mid-November with a resolution that had advanced earlier from the House of Representatives in a day of high-stakes brinkmanship on Capitol Hill. The last-ditch "continuing resolution" was pitched by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy as millions of public wor...

Washington (AFP) - The United States is heading toward a government shutdown this weekend with no foreseeable way out of a deadlock in Congress over hardline Republican calls for deep spending cuts. The new US fiscal year begins on October 1, but sharp disagreements in the Republican Party over the scale of federal debt has prevented passage of the bills needed to keep the government funded and open. The credit ratings agency Moody's warned this week that a shutdown would be "credit negative" for US sovereign debt, threatening its top-tier rating and raising the prospect of higher borrowing co...

Washington (AFP) - The US government hurtled towards a shutdown Friday, with hardline Republicans creating disarray in their own party and President Joe Biden's administration issuing increasingly dire warnings of everything from impending border chaos to travel disruptions. The closure, set to start after midnight Saturday (0400 GMT Sunday) if lawmakers fail to reach a deal, would be the first since 2019 -- impacting millions of federal employees and military personnel while threatening the closure of national parks. The two chambers of Congress are deadlocked, with a small group of Republica...

Washington (AFP) - US national parks, from the iconic Yosemite and Yellowstone in the west to Florida's Everglades swamp, will close to the public from Sunday in the increasingly likely event of a federal government shutdown. Barring any last-minute deal in Congress, visitors to most of the national parks and hundreds of other popular sites will meet with padlocked gates from midnight Saturday due to a freeze in federal funding, the Department of the Interior said early Friday. "In the event of a lapse in annual government appropriations ... the majority of national parks will be closed comple...

Washington (AFP) - The US government began Thursday to inform workers of an impending shutdown that could see millions of federal employees and military personnel temporarily sent home or working without pay, unless Congress reaches a last-ditch deal. Without an agreement, funding for much of the federal government will expire at midnight on Saturday (0400 GMT Sunday), threatening disruptions to everything from air travel to benefit payments, and – if the shutdown endures – dealing a further blow to the precarious US economy. The stand-off has been triggered by a small group of hardline Republ...

Washington (AFP) - The US Senate approved and President Donald Trump signed a one-week budget stopgap Friday that avoids a government shutdown and allows lawmakers to continue negotiations over getting pandemic relief to millions of Americans. The Senate passed the measure by voice vote days after the House of Representatives approved the so-called continuing resolution, which extends current funding for all federal agencies through December 18. Trump signed it Friday evening, the White House said, hours ahead of a midnight deadline that would have seen funding for federal operations dry up. T...
