據福斯新聞報導，由於美國參議院未能通過一項為聯邦機構提供經費的支出法案，白宮已正式宣布政府即將停擺。從歷史來看，美國曾發生過多次政府停擺事件（例如2018至2019年長達35天的停擺），這類事件通常由移民、醫療或支出爭端所引發。

According to Fox News, as the U.S. Senate failed to pass a spending bill that would fund federal agencies, the White House has officially announced that the government is on the verge of a shutdown. Historically, the U.S. has experienced multiple government shutdowns (such as the 35-day shutdown in 2018-2019), which are usually triggered by disputes over immigration, healthcare, or spending.
