The piece also touches on how this political standoff could affect international relations, using Canada as an example of a country watching the U.S. political drama unfold with concern.

Meanwhile, the article notes the broader implications of such a shutdown, including disruptions in government services, economic impacts, and the potential for increased political polarization.
