On July 22, local time, US President Trump mentioned in his speech in Georgia that due to differences between the Republican Party and the Democratic Party over spending priorities, the federal government will “shut down” in September. On July 21, local time, the Republican-controlled US House of Representatives passed a short-term funding bill that will provide funding for federal government agencies until December 4 to prevent the government from “shutting down” due to running out of funds before the November midterm elections. This temporary funding measure is also known as the “Continued Funding Resolution.” After the bill is passed, it will be submitted to the Senate for consideration. Currently, Senate Republican leaders are in negotiations with the Democratic Party and are considering proposing their own short-term funding plan. If Congress fails to pass the funding bill in time, funding for most federal government agencies and projects will expire at midnight on September 30, at the end of the current fiscal year.
