The government shutdown in the U.S. entered its second day, and Donald Trump took the opportunity to announce massive cuts to funding for projects supported by Democrats. He accused the Democrats of giving him this opportunity and planned layoffs among federal employees. Trump and Russell Vought, the head of the Office of Management and Budget, are discussing agencies that could be cut. The cuts target approximately 18 billion dollars for infrastructure projects, provoking furious reactions from Democratic leaders. Negotiations in Congress are stalled, and the effects of the shutdown remain unclear.
