Trump Gives The Green Light For A Government Shutdown As Deadline Loom
The United States is now just days away from a full government shutdown.
A critical spending bill has failed in the Senate, and high-stakes negotiations have completely collapsed.
President Trump has publicly stated he is willing to let the shutdown happen.
He is citing falling consumer prices as a sign of the economy's resilience.
This signals a deep political deadlock with no clear path forward before the September 30th deadline.
Analysts warn this could disrupt a twenty-seven trillion dollar economy.
The last major shutdown in 2018 shaved a significant amount off the nation's GDP.
Over 800,000 federal workers face uncertainty, and crucial government services are at risk.
Markets are now bracing for a new wave of volatility.
The clock is ticking.
The question is no longer if a shutdown can be avoided, but how long it will last.
