In the USA.
The news as it trends.
President Donald Trump, long known for branding himself a master negotiator, is now facing criticism from both allies and opponents as a potential government shutdown looms.
Despite Republicans controlling both chambers of Congress, internal divisions and stalled negotiations have left the federal budget unresolved.
Trump has warned that the shutdown could last a long time, but many are questioning his leadership in the face of mounting pressure.
Critics argue that Trump has appeared too weak in dealing with dissent within his own party and ineffective in reaching compromise with Democrats.
The budget impasse centers on deep disagreements over immigration funding, entitlement reforms, and defense spending.
With the fiscal deadline approaching, federal agencies are preparing for partial closures, and millions of workers may face furloughs.
For everyday Americans, the consequences could be significant: delays in passport processing, disruptions to food assistance programs, suspended national park operations, and stalled small business contracts.
The longer the shutdown lasts, the more economic ripple effects will be felt across the country.
Trump’s reputation as a dealmaker is now being tested—not in campaign rallies, but in the halls of Congress.
Whether he can broker a resolution or face prolonged gridlock remains to be seen.
