Who is to blame for the closure of the US government?

On the evening of 19 local time, the US Senate voted against a provisional appropriation bill aimed at avoiding the government's shutdown, and the work of the non-core departments of the US federal government was thus in a state of stagnation.

This provisional appropriation bill was passed in the House of Representatives on 18, but it still needs the support of more than 60 votes in the Senate and will take effect after being submitted to the President for signature. Due to the huge differences between the democratic and * * * parties in the United States on military spending and immigration, after several rounds of negotiations, the Senate's vote on 19 was postponed to two hours before the deadline. Finally, the Senate rejected the bill.

This means that the federal government of the United States officially stopped working at 0: 00 local time on the 20th, that is, on the 20th of Beijing time 13, because it could not get office funds. Non-core departments of the federal government stopped operating, a large number of federal employees were forced to take unpaid leave, some public hospitals suspended their services, and national parks and other tourist attractions were temporarily closed.

The shutdown of the US federal government quickly set off a war of words in American political circles. The leaders of the United States, the Communist Party and the Democratic Party all accused each other of being the perpetrators. US President Trump publicly declared that his opponent, the Democratic Party, was behind the scenes. Who is responsible for the lockout? The two sides are deadlocked.

Trump: The Democratic Party is behind the scenes.

On the 20th, Trump posted a message on social networking sites, accusing the Democratic Party of paying too much attention to illegal immigrants and neglecting US border security, which was behind the federal government's shutdown. Subsequently, White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said that if the Democratic Party did not agree to resume government operations, Trump would not discuss immigration issues with it.

* * * and the Party: An Irresponsible Political Game

Trump's party also believes that the Democratic Party is playing an irresponsible political game this time. They abandoned the safety of American citizens in order to satisfy their political ambitions.

US Senate and Party Leader McConnell: The Democratic Party gambles on the safety of American citizens to meet their reckless demands, which appropriately reflects the position of the White House. Dear Speaker, what we are seeing now is that the Democratic Party is playing an irresponsible political game, regardless of the safety of all Americans.

Democratic Party: Typical Trump-style lockout

However, the Democratic Party turned its firepower to Trump, arguing that the government shutdown was entirely the result of Trump's administration. Schumer, leader of the Democratic Party in the Senate, said that Trump has repeatedly undermined the US Congress bill since he took office, which has had a serious impact on the US government and society.

Schumer, leader of the US Senate Democratic Party: This is a typical Trump-style lockout. Because we are in today's situation, no one should be blamed except Trump. Instead of leading the United States back to glory as promised during the campaign, he became the only resistance to tearing up the congressional bill. His behavior brought our government to a standstill. This is the Trump-style lockout.
