In the context of the budget paralysis in the USA, Donald Trump decided to pay the salaries of the military, ordering Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to use all available funds. Congress is blocked in negotiations between Republicans and Democrats, which has led to technical unemployment for over 700,000 federal employees. Trump rejects negotiations on health issues without reopening the government, and the White House has begun laying off federal employees.
