The U.S. government shutdown crisis is approaching, and Trump will meet with senior congressional leaders.

On September 28, according to CNBC, U.S. government funding will run out on September 30, threatening the jobs of millions of federal workers. Congress must pass or extend a spending bill by October 1 to prevent a government shutdown. Trump will meet with congressional leaders on September 29, including Senate Minority Leader Schumer, House Minority Leader Jeffries, House Speaker Johnson, and Senate Majority Leader Thune. Notably, a temporary spending bill previously used to avoid a government shutdown failed to pass in the U.S. Senate, and on the 26th, Trump stated, "If the government has to shut down, then let it shut down." Deutsche Bank analyst Jim Reid pointed out, "We may see the first government shutdown since the winter of 2018-19."
