The “shutdown” of the American economy was prevented and aid to Ukraine was suspended
The United States avoided a last-minute paralysis of its federal administration when the Senate passed an emergency measure allowing temporary continuation of its funding just three hours before the shutdown. The emergency measure passed by the US Congress stipulates that the US government will continue to be funded for 45 days. However, it excludes the White House’s requested aid to Ukraine in the war. “We cannot allow American support for Ukraine to be disrupted under any circumstances,” Joe Biden said in a statement. Lawmakers must now consider a separate bill for $24 billion in military and humanitarian aid to Ukraine, which Mr. Biden wanted to include in the budget. According to American media, a vote could take place early next week.
