  • US President-elect Donald Trump has urged Republican politicians to scupper a cross-party deal to avert a fast-looming US government shutdown.

The article from RTE discusses the looming threat of a US government shutdown as the deadline for a funding agreement approaches. Congress has until the end of the week to pass a spending bill to keep federal operations running.

The White House has warned of the severe economic consequences of a shutdown, urging Congress to act swiftly.
