The U.S. House of Representatives voted against a spending bill supported by former President Donald Trump, putting the country at risk of an imminent government shutdown. The bill proposed funding the government through March, raising the debt ceiling, and allocating $100 billion for disaster relief. However, it was rejected by 38 Republican representatives who joined the Democrats in opposition.
This rejection highlights deep divisions within Congress and places over two million federal employees at risk of delayed paychecks and disrupted services. The White House has called for an urgent resolution to avoid widespread economic and social repercussions. As the deadline approaches, the fate of the agreement remains in the hands of lawmakers.
