US plans vote to avoid government shutdown
Most recently, in 2013, the government was forced to shut down for 16 days as the White House and Congress failed to find common ground.
White House sources said that US officials are planning a vote in the US Congress on February 8 to avoid the federal government having to continue to stop operating after this time when the temporary spending bill recently passed by the US Congress expires.
Earlier, the US Congress passed a short-term measure to fund the federal government until February 8, ending the three-day government shutdown. The US federal budget expired at midnight on January 19 local time (noon on January 20 Vietnam time) and could not be extended due to disagreements between US President Donald Trump and Democrats over immigration.
The threat of a government shutdown has become a haunting presence in budget negotiations in the US Congress. The US government has had to shut down several times in history.
Most recently, in 2013, the US government was forced to shut down for 16 days because the White House and Congress could not find a common voice and compromise on the budget for the health care reforms of then US President Barack Obama. Previously, in 1995-1996, the US government also had to shut down for 21 days./.
