Summary
The US government has entered a partial shutdown after the House of Representatives failed to approve a funding deal. The Senate had passed a bill backed by Trump to avoid the shutdown, putting pressure on the House to act quickly.
Senator Lindsey Graham threatened to oppose any future deal that repeals a House-backed measure, warning House Speaker Mike Johnson. Meanwhile, Trump said he is working with Congress to try to avert the shutdown.
