Trump announced the threat of a new shutdown for the United States at the end of January.

The American government may face another work stoppage in January 2026. This was announced on December 19 by US President Donald Trump.

"There may be a strike on January 13, there may be another shutdown," he said during a speech in North Carolina.

Trump clarified that the shutdown could occur due to the disagreement of representatives of the Democratic Party with the policy of the Republicans and the lack of agreement on the issue of medical expenses.

This can be avoided if Democrats and Republicans can agree on subsidies for health insurance.

The order that put an end to the shutdown in the United States, on financing the work of the government, was signed on November 12 by Trump. He said that the earlier measure was necessary in order to demonstrate that his office would not succumb to blackmail from representatives of the Democratic Party.

Kevin Hassett, head of the White House National Economic Council, spoke on November 20 about the damage caused by the government shutdown. He suggested that it may take a little time to neutralize the damage caused to the American economy.
